People are warned to 'be very careful' and 'not be complacent' as conditions remain dangerous
Spain ’s national weather agency Aemet has issued a stark warning after at least 95 people were killed in devastating flash floods which swept through Valencia. The floods began late on Tuesday after torrential rain hit the region.
The death toll currently stands at 95, but this could rise as the search for bodies continues. The extreme weather was caused by a DANA, a high altitude isolated depression, which has slowly moved across the country.Although the peak of the DANA is over, Aemet has warned that stormy conditions will remain “throughout the week”. The weather agency has urged people to “not be complacent” as there’s still the risk of being swept up in floods even in areas where it has not rained.
“The worst day of the storm was Tuesday, but adverse phenomena will continue to occur throughout the week, certainly not on the scale of Tuesday, but it is raining on wet ground. And it is not just raining on wet ground, but many resources are focused on the emergency in Valencia. Act with common sense and following instructions from @GVA112 @DGobiernoCV and @BombersDipcas
