Storm Leonardo brought torrential rain and strong winds to the Iberian Peninsula, causing widespread flooding, damage to homes, and evacuations. Thousands of residents were forced to flee.

In Olympic news, a women's ice hockey match between Finland and Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics was postponed due to a norovirus outbreak, Sky News reported. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) stated that the decision was made after consultations with medical professionals following cases identified within the Team Finland camp. The rearranged match is scheduled to be played on February 12 at the Rho Arena, a temporary venue built for ice hockey.
