31 October 2024

Spain is observing three days of mourning after flash flooding killed at least 95 people. Dozens are still missing and the death toll is expected to rise.

The eastern regions of Murcia and Valencia were hardest hit. Huge storms were triggered by a so-called "cold drop."

That happens when a cold Atlantic low-pressure system colides with warm Mediterranean air. Muddy torrents swept away vehicles and ripped apart homes.
