The storm Leonardo is leaving a significant impact on a large part of Spain, with special intensity in Andalusia, where AEMET has activated red alerts for intense rains that could exceed 200 liters per square meter in 24 hours in areas such as Grazalema (Cádiz) and Ronda (Málaga). The authorities have decreed the preventive evacuation of thousands of people and the suspension of classes in most Andalusian educational centers, except in Almería, to minimize risks from possible floods and landslides.
The storm also affects the north and interior of the country: in Aragon and the Pyrenees, restrictions have been imposed such as the mandatory use of chains on more than 20 roads, while Castilla y León registers snow alerts on eight sections of highways. Precipitation, strong winds, and snow keep emergency services on alert, who recommend avoiding unnecessary travel and following the instructions of Civil Protection.
❗ Warning from the Ministry of Labor due to the red alert: "You can reduce or modify your workday. You have paid leave"

The rain and snow storm currently affects up to 80 roads and has caused the closure of 38 secondary roads, leaving floods, landslides, and snowfalls in its wake. With the passing of Leonardo, the next few hours are expected to be especially complicated in the most affected areas, where municipalities are coordinating preventive measures and reinforcing the safety of inhabitants in the face of the storm's persistence
