A weather warning for potential flash flooding and landslides has been issued to UK tourists as Spain and the Balearic Islands are expected to be hit by 'torrential' downpours.

A rare weather alert has been issued for Spain as storms and heavy rain are set to batter the country over the coming days. Aemet, the country’s national weather agency, has released a special advisory notice covering mainland Spain and the Balearic Islands.

Several weather warnings have been put in force across the country this week, with rare amber alerts in place for storms and heavy rainfall in Almeria, Ceuta and the Castellon region from 6pm on Monday (October 28) until midnight.

"A further 250-350mm of rain is possible by the weekend in a few places - the average for the whole of October is closer to 50-100mm," the update read.

The adverse weather is due to a DANA (isolated depression at high levels), which is slowly moving across the country, 'producing widespread rainfall in the Peninsula and the Balearic Islands' and is set to last until October 31.
