Parts of Spain See a Month's Worth of Rainfall in Just One Day

A downpour in Spain has wrecked havoc on infrastructure, causing havoc in Valencia.

On Tuesday, October 4, 2023, Torrential rain battered Spain, with some areas receiving more than a month's worth of rainfall in a single day. The downpour caused widespread flooding, disrupted transportation, and resulted in the displacement of hundreds of people.

Valencia was hit particularly hard by the storm, with some areas seeing up to 23 inches of rain in just 24 hours.

The city's infrastructure was severely damaged, with roads and bridges washed out and buildings flooded. The storm also caused power outages and disrupted telecommunications services.

In addition to Valencia, other parts of Spain were also affected by the storm, including the regions of Murcia, Andalusia, and Catalonia. In total, more than 100 municipalities were affected by the flooding.

The storm is the latest in a series of extreme weather events that have hit Spain in recent months. In September, a heat wave led to record-breaking temperatures, and in August, wildfires ravaged several parts of the country.

Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and more intense. This is a serious threat to Spain and other countries around the world, and it is something that we must take action to address.
