Spain's Costa del Sol Faces Severe Flood Threat

Spain faces severe weather conditions with red alerts issued for regions such as Valencia, Malaga, and Catalonia due to torrential rain and flooding risks. Thousands have been evacuated from areas like Malaga and the Costa del Sol, as nearly a month's worth of rain fell in just one hour, exacerbating fears of river overflows and flash floods. The Spanish meteorological agency Aemet has warned of extreme rainfall, prompting closures of schools, roads, and rail services, including the suspension of the Málaga-Madrid train. The situation is dire as the country is still recovering from recent floods that claimed over 200 lives. Emergency alerts have been sent to residents and tourists, urging caution and advising against travel. Authorities are taking precautionary measures, including deploying state security forces to assist with evacuations and safety protocols.
