Severe Flooding Disrupts Malaga, Spain

Spain is facing severe weather conditions as storms lead to flooding in southern regions, particularly in Malaga, where a red weather warning has been issued. Authorities predict up to 180 mm of rain could fall in 12 hours, prompting evacuations and public transport suspensions. This comes just two weeks after devastating flash floods in Valencia caused over 220 deaths and extensive property damage. The European Parliament is discussing measures to enhance the EU's crisis response to such climate-related disasters, emphasizing the need for better preparedness. Experts link these increasing drought and flood cycles to climate change, stating Europe is the fastest warming continent. As the weather worsens, the situation in Malaga is described as creating a 'new river' in the city due to torrential rains.
