Spain: Flooding reported in several provinces in Castile and Leon as of Jan. 22 following passage of Storm Juan

Flooding has been reported in multiple parts of Castile and Leon as of Jan. 22 following the recent passage of Storm Juan. Heavy precipitation in connection with the storm system has caused several rivers to overflow their banks, prompting road closures in the provinces of Avila, Segovia, and Valladolid. Flooding has also impacted the city of Zamora, with the Duoro River reportedly breaching its banks and inundating some of the city's riverside walkways. Additionally, flooding-related evacuations have impacted some communities in the region, including Viana de Cega, Valladolid Province. Officials did not immediately report any casualties in connection with the flooding.

Lingering transport and business disruptions are likely in areas subject to flooding. Further flooding-related road closures and evacuations are possible in Castile and Leon over the short term, especially in any areas that receive additional precipitation over the coming days. Flooding may cause power outages in some areas.
