After the previous storm Leonardo caused heavy rainfall in Andalucía and Extremadura, Spain is now facing the impact of a new storm named Marta. This storm has already led to significant preventative evacuations, with over 11,000 people displaced from their homes, including approximately 8,000 in the province of Cádiz alone. The severity of the weather has prompted authorities to take action to ensure public safety.

Currently, more than 150 roads in Spain are closed due to the adverse weather conditions, and the General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) is advising individuals to refrain from unnecessary travel. In addition to road closures, rail services have also been severely affected; Renfe has canceled all train services in Andalucía except for the Cercanías line C1 in Málaga and the high-speed AVE rail service from Madrid to Villanueva de Córdoba.

The ongoing weather disruptions highlight the challenges posed by such storms and the efforts of local authorities to manage the situation effectively. The DGT's live map provides real-time updates on affected road conditions, allowing residents and travelers to make informed decisions regarding their journeys during the storm.
