Extremadura suspends classes across the region this Wednesday due to the storm

Extremadura has suspended classes across the region due to severe weather warnings, including heavy rain and strong winds. The red alert for rain in northern Cáceres will continue, with an orange alert for wind gusts up to 120 km/h. The regional government activated the Civil Protection Plan to ensure safety for students and staff, aiming to minimize road traffic and prevent accidents. In addition, evacuations are underway in Piedralaves due to the risk of dam overflow. Portugal has also closed schools and non-essential services in response to the storm, urging residents to stay indoors as emergency services prepare for potential rescues.
