  • The Spanish city of Barcelona was hit by flood due to torrential rains.
  • The flooding was caused by a Dana phenomenon - when warm, moist air meets cold air, creating an unstable weather system.
  • This is the Europe’s worst flood-related disaster since 1967 when at least 500 people died in Portugal.
  • The extreme weather event came after Spain battled with prolonged droughts in 2022 and 2023.
