The Cartagena and Mar Menor areas could see up to 50 litres of rain per square metre in just one hour on Saturday, October 17. The state Meteorological Agency (AEMET) has issued a special weather warning, and the Ministry of the Interior has advised residents and tourists to take necessary measures.
