Flooding hits transport and infrastructure

The flooding has caused major disruption to transport and infrastructure in Madrid. The city's metro system has been suspended, and many roads have been closed. The flooding has also caused damage to buildings and homes, and some residents have been evacuated.

Emergency services respond to the flooding

Emergency services are working to respond to the flooding and help those affected. The Spanish government has deployed the military to assist with the relief effort.

Floodwaters recede, but damage remains

The floodwaters are now beginning to recede, but the damage caused by the flooding is likely to take some time to repair. The Spanish government has pledged to provide financial assistance to those affected by the flooding.

Climate change may increase the risk of flooding

Experts say that climate change may be increasing the risk of flooding in Madrid. The city is located on a floodplain, and the rising temperatures caused by climate change are leading to more frequent and intense rainfall.
