Torrential rain is flooding Ibiza, where tourists and residents have been urged not to travel.

Videos emerging from the Spanish island dramatic deluges, with streets becoming torrents and water pouring through the roof of Ibiza Airport.

Local media reported there had been a ‘cascade of rain’ inside the airport building, where the security check area had been flooded after ‘constant and very heavy water leaks, completely flooding the area’.

The whole island is under a red warning, the maximum alert level, for heavy rainfall until 4pm local time.

State meteorological agency AEMET said there had been over 180mm of rain falling in twelve hours, saying: ‘Caution! Extraordinary danger. There may be flooding and sudden rises in waterways.’

The website for Ibiza Airport warns: ‘ADVERSE WEATHER: AEMET red warning for adverse weather. If you are planning to fly to/from Ibiza Airport, please check with your airline about the status of your flight.’

Flights scheduled to land in Ibiza had to be diverted this morning, although the airport is currently still operating.

Across the island, some roads have been closed including major highways the E10 and E20, and parents were told not to collect their children from school until the water levels eased.

People across the island were sent a warning alert to their mobile phones warning them of the situation.

The extreme weather is being caused by the remnants of what was Hurricane Gabrielle. It weakened as it swept across the Atlantic, but remains a powerful low press system bringing disruption with potentially danger to life.

There is a possibility the UK could also be hit with heavy rain towards the end of this week, as tropical cyclones sweep towards us.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Chris Bulmer said yellow warnings for rain cover the next three days in western Scotland, but there was the potential for wider disruption: ‘The situation becomes more complex later in the week as tropical cyclones Humberto and Imelda, currently over the southwest Atlantic, influence our weather, increasing the risk of a deep low developing near the UK.

‘If this materialises, we could see some very strong winds as well as further heavy rainfall Friday into Saturday, but at this time the development and track of this system remains uncertain. We’re monitoring this closely.’

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
