> Spain's Aemet warns of heavy rainfall in La Palma and Tenerife while an anticyclone maintains sunny conditions across the mainland.

Spain's meteorological agency **Aemet** has issued orange weather warnings for heavy rainfall across **La Palma** and **Tenerife** this November 1. Forecasters predict intense downpours reaching 30 litres per square metre per hour in La Palma's peaks and Tenerife's metro area.

Yellow alerts for rain and storms are also active for Gran Canaria, La Gomera, and El Hierro, with 15 litres per square metre expected hourly. Meanwhile, the **Girona** coast faces yellow warnings for 60km/h wind gusts and significant waves reaching three metres.

While the **Canary Islands** and Girona face turbulent conditions, an anticyclone remains over the Iberian Peninsula. This high-pressure system ensures a stark contrast in weather, bringing settled conditions with sunny skies across almost all of the mainland.
