The Valencia region in Spain has been hit by torrential weather, just a year after the devastating floods in 2024 that claimed 230 lives. The recent severe weather has caused significant damage and disruption in the area. Heavy rains and strong winds have led to flooding, power outages, and the closure of roads and schools. Emergency services have been deployed to assist residents and assess the extent of the damage.
