Copernicus Emergency Management Service mapped over 64,000 hectares of flooded areas along the Tagus River in central Portugal caused by Storm Leonardo in early February 2026, according to a post by VOSTPT citing CopernicusEMS. The activation followed heavy rain from Storm Leonardo worsening floods after Storm Kristin. The mapping was highlighted in an X post by @VOSTPT during the reporting window from 7:16:10 PM to 8:16:03 PM UTC on February 9, 2026, linking to a Copernicus image gallery. CopernicusEMS was activated to assess the flood extent in Portugal. No updates on the prior extreme rainfall in Grazalema, Spain, exceeding 2,000 mm over the preceding 20 days, were reported in this 59-minute window, consistent with the previous monitoring period.
