Spanish regions face new storms as Valencia still recovers from recent floods

Heavy rain-storms hit Spain again forcing schools to close and trains to stop running‚ while Valenciaʼs clean-up from last months deadly floods isnt finished yet. The weather service warned about super-heavy rainfall: up to 180mm could pour down in just 5 hours

The recent floods (that happened couple weeks ago) left over 220 people dead and lots of houses destroyed — now theres worry about more damage to streets still full of mud. In south Spain Malaga region got hit hard: about 3k people near Guadalhorce river had to move out just-in-case‚ and all schools shut down

Transport got real messy: no trains running between Madrid-Malaga and Barcelona-Valencia routes. The govt in Valencia made a smart-move and said no private cars allowed till tomorrow (cause last time there were huge car pile-ups when tsunami-like floods hit). Weather experts AEMET put up red flags in Malaga — they measured like 70mm rain in 60mins; same warning for parts of Tarragona too

The storm comes from warm air hitting cold air thats just sitting there which makes super-strong rain clouds. Scientists say these wet-dry cycles are getting worse cause of climate change. Even sports got affected — they had to push back the Billie Jean King Cup tennis matches between Spain and Poland
