LARGE parts of Spain’s eastern coast have been placed on a weather alert for heavy rain and storms.
The yellow-level warnings from state weather agency Aemet start at midnight tonight and last until 3pm tomorrow.

The alerts warn of up to 60mm of rain per square metre over 12 hours, as well as a chance of accompanying storms.
The areas under the yellow warning include: Javea, Gandia, Denia and the entire coasts of Valencia and Castellon.
Benidorm, which neighbours Denia, just misses out on the weather warning, but will not skip the rain.
Much like the rest of the region, the wet weather in the tourism hotspot has already begun, with rain falling from early this morning.
Rainfall is expected across the Costa Blanca for the rest of the day, with the biggest downpours expected tomorrow.
