Coastal Spain is once again facing severe weather conditions as severe thunderstorms and torrential rain have battered the region, leading to the evacuation of thousands of people. This comes just two weeks after the country experienced deadly flooding in Valencia and other nearby communities.
Almost 3,000 people and a thousand homes have been evacuated in the Malaga region, with five areas near the Guadalhorce riverbank being preemptively evacuated due to the risk of overflowing. In just one hour, nearly a month's worth of rainfall inundated Malaga, with the southern Spanish province receiving roughly 100 millimeters of rain, 78 millimeters of which fell within an hour.
