Major flash flooding in Spain yesterday. In Madrigueras (Albacete), 142 mm fell in just 2.5 hours, killing one woman, while many others had to be rescued. These "DANA" events are not uncommon, but record warm Mediterranean water now provides further 'fuel' to them. https://www.eltiempo.es/noticias/madrigueras-albacete-bajo-el-agua-tras-caer-142-l-m%c2%b2-una-fallecida-despararecidos-y-graves-danos #ClimateChange #extremeweather #floods
