Heavy rains on the south coast of Spain yesterday caused streets and streets to be flooded. Education was suspended in kindergartens, schools and universities due to the rains.
HIGH LEVEL ALARM
A high level of alert was issued due to flooding in the autonomous regions of Murcia, Valencia and Andalusia, which were most affected by the rains. In the city of Cartagena, in the Autonomous Region of Murcia, emergency services teams started work to evacuate the flood waters from the streets. The basements of houses and workplaces were flooded, and the parked vehicles were dragged away by the flood waters.
‘RECORD AMOUNT OF RAIN’
In the statement made by the Spanish National Meteorological Agency (AEMET), it was stated that the precipitation that has been effective for a few days in Valencia is more than the amount of precipitation seen in the last 6 months in some regions. According to the agency, a record amount of precipitation was recorded in one day in the town of Ontinyent, which has not been seen in May for the last 100 years. The water level rose in the town’s Clariano River due to the rains.
AEMET Spokesperson Ruben del Campo said in a statement that the rains could alleviate the effects of the drought in the country, which has a dry spring season.
While no loss of life or injury was reported in the flood disaster in the country, precipitation is expected to be effective throughout the week. (UAV)
