Recent storms in Spain have once again wreaked havoc, leading to school closures and train cancellations. This comes just two weeks after flash floods in Valencia and other regions claimed the lives of over 220 individuals and caused extensive damage to thousands of homes.
Coastal areas of Valencia were placed on high alert as forecasters predicted heavy rainfall of up to 180 millimeters (7 inches) within a span of five hours. The aftermath of the previous storm in Valencia is still being addressed, with ongoing cleanup efforts in the hardest-hit areas where streets remain covered in mud and debris.
