Severe Weather Causes Flooding in Valencia

Spain's meteorological agency placed Valencia under red alert for heavy rains, warning of 'extraordinary danger' for Sunday and Monday, as stated by AEMET and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
Heavy rainfall caused significant flooding, with 57 litres of rain per square metre falling in just 35 minutes in Aldaia, leading to many rescues by firefighters.
Schools, colleges, and public spaces in Valencia will close on Monday due to severe weather, as local residents received red alert warnings on their phones.
AEMET warns that Monday and Tuesday will be the 'most adverse' days for conditions related to Storm Gabrielle, as Valencia recalls the devastating flooding that killed 235 people last year.
