heavy rain causes flash floods in southern Spain

In Spain, flash floods. This is the consequence of torrential rains that occurred in the region of Murcia, in the south-east of the country. Fifty liters of water fell in one hour. Several people were treated by emergency services. The only consolation is a lake. The precipitation caused an increase in water volume, now at 37%, compared to just 2% previously.

Bulgaria was also hit by a violent weather episode. A hailstone storm hit the north of the country. The pieces of ice caused damage to crops and cars. “I have never seen hailstones this big”, confides a resident. In the south of Europe, in Greece, the heatwave is raging. Temperatures are close to 40 degrees, especially in Athens. The famous ancient monument, the Acropolis, has been temporarily closed.
