The storm 'Marta' is the latest weather system to impact Spain, following a previous storm named Leonardo. The arrival of this new storm has led to an orange warning for high winds and heavy rainfall in much of southern Spain, especially in the western region of Andalusia which has already faced significant weather disruptions from prior storms. This new system has prompted officials to evacuate over 11,000 people as a precautionary measure against the risks of flooding and landslides.

In Andalusia, the ground saturation from prior storms has led to swollen rivers, raising concerns about the risk of flooding. The Guadalquivir River in Córdoba is under close surveillance due to its increased water levels, while about 169 main roads have been closed, affecting transport and safety in the area. Out of these, 132 affected roads are located in Andalusia, with significant infrastructure challenges arising from water coverage and damage from the severe weather.

As the situation progresses, authorities are focused on coordinating responses and ensuring public safety amidst the severe conditions anticipated. The live news updates from EL PAÍS reflect the ongoing challenges faced by the region and the urgent responses needed to mitigate the impact of 'Marta' on the local communities.
