Storm Bruna unleashes torrential rain, thunder and lightning across Gran Canaria, Spain

On November 9, 2026, in northern Gran Canaria, Spain, @CiscoMartX shared a video showing heavy rainfall sweeping across a coastal town amid thunderstorm activity. In the video, torrential rain reduces visibility across the town, with low-rise buildings, a gas station and winding streets visible beneath the heavy downpour. According to reports, the severe weather, including thunderstorms, lightning and intense rainfall, was associated with Storm Bruna, which affected the Canary Islands. The storm prompted weather warnings and pre-alerts for heavy rainfall and coastal hazards. Authorities also warned of potential mudslides, rockfalls and sudden water runoff through steep volcanic ravines, locally known as barrancos, particularly in areas experiencing torrential downpours.
