Flooding in Southern Spain Following Torrential Rains - Authorities on Alert

Torrential rains caused flooding in the Malaga area of southern Spain over the weekend. Authorities report no casualties, but 339 incidents have been recorded, mainly in the province of Malaga. Spain is facing increasingly frequent extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and floods, due to climate change. The Murcia region has been placed on red alert, while Valencia is on standby. Spain remains deeply affected by the October 2024 floods, which caused more than 230 deaths.
