Ibiza has been hit by extreme flooding as the island is whipped by the tail end Hurricane Gabrielle. But if you have a holiday booked, is it safe to travel?

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.’

Storm Amy ‘has her sights tightly set on us,’ a weather expert warned

Tropical systems Humberto and Imelda could combine into a historic megastorm in the Atlantic.

As many as 400,000 people are being evacuated from parts of China over a powerful typhoon that has slammed into the Philippines and Taiwan.

Schools and businesses have shut down, most flights have been grounded, and supermarket shelves are being emptied amid Super Typhoon Ragasa, which has already recorded wind speeds of about 137 mph.

Tens of millions of residents could be impacted as Ragasa is set to pass south of the major cities of Hong Kong, Macau, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, before making landfall again in the mainland Guangdong Province.

Entire megacities have been brought to a standstill as authorities issued dual red alerts for storm surges and high waves, warning that Guangdong will be hit by waves as high as 23 feet.

Guangzhou – a city of 18.6 million people – may issue its highest red alert today.

And in Shenzhen – home to another 17.5 million – officials are preparing to relocate almost half a million residents from low-lying and coastal areas.

The National Meteorological Center said Ragasa would make landfall in the coastal area between Zhuhai and Zhanjiang cities between midday and evening on Wednesday.

What is the aftermath in the Philippines and Taiwan?

In the Philippines, at least three people have died and five others are still missing after Ragasa made landfall on Monday.

More than 17,500 people have since been displaced amid flooding and landslides set off by the most powerful storm to hit the Southeast Asian archipelago this year.

One of the victims is a 74-year-old man, who died while being brought to a hospital.

He had been pinned in one of four vehicles that were partly buried by mud, rocks and trees that cascaded down a mountainside onto a road in the mountain town of Tuba in Benguet province, officials said.

Two other villagers died in the storm, including a resident in Calayan town.

Ragasa prompted the Philippine government on Monday to close schools and government offices in the densely populated capital region and 29 northern provinces.

Fishing boats and ferries were prohibited from venturing into very rough seas and domestic flights were cancelled.

In Taiwan, at least six people were injured and more than 7,000 residents were evacuated as the typhoon swept south of the island.

Nothing kills a sex party quite like a sandstorm.

At least that’s what horny ravers discovered at Burning Man festival, which is held slap bang in the middle of a US desert.

The Nevada bonanza was interrupted by a huge dust cloud, known as a ‘haboob’, sweeping through the American Southwest over the weekend.

But one victim of the huge storm has upset music fans the most: Burning Man’s infamous ‘Orgy Dome’.

It is one of the event’s most talked-about attractions.

The huge tent offers dozens of mattresses and air conditioning for couples and groups to get it on in front of each other.

A reported 5,000 visitors queued to get inside last year, but not this time.

The dust storm’s powerful winds ‘wrecked’ the Orgy Dome’s structure, its Instagram account said on Monday.

The group shared pictures of the ruined tent, adding: ‘We hope to be able to offer some workshops if possible but what remains of the dome is beyond repair.’

The Orgy Dome is one raucous part of the Burning Man festival, during which 80,000 people pitch up and build ‘Black Rock City’ on the desert

The event advertises itself as an opportunity for free expression and communal living in a largely unregulated environment.

Although there is a reputation for drug use and nudity, dozens of children go too.

The Orgy Dome itself is only for adults who are age-screened and provide explicit consent.

It was not just the festival’s sex hub that was destroyed by the forceful winds; the whole event was also flooded with dust.

The weather conditions forced various activities to pause over the weekend, and left four people with minor injuries.

Although festival gates and Black Rock City airport has reopened, thunderstorms now threaten to disrupt events this week.

Wild dust storms have continued in other parts of the American Southwest this week.

‘Apocalyptic’ clouds swept through Phoenix and other parts of Arizona on Monday.

These ‘haboobs’ frequently occur during summer monsoon season in that party of the country.

They are caused when thunderstorms create down drafts that kick up sand on the desert floor.

As they struck Arizona on Monday, drivers were told to ‘pull aside stay alive’ as road visibility fell to as low as 50 feet.
