A DANA (isolated depression at high levels) event, the same phenomenon behind the 2024 Valencia floods, has struck eastern Spain again, with storm Adam bringing torrential rain and hail that killed five people. Precipitation reached 700 liters per square meter in 24 hours in some areas. The event underscores the increasing intensity of such extreme weather, likely amplified by climate change, and raises concerns about recurring flood risk in the region.
