The severe floods were triggered by intense rainfall in eastern Spain, leading to an emergency “red” alert in Valencia, where 180 millimeters of rain fell within 12 hours. Emergency services reported hundreds of calls for help due to overflowing rivers and inaccessible areas, with more than 1,000 rescue personnel deployed to assist with evacuations.
