Overview
- Storm Adam dumped near‑record totals in parts of Valencia and Alicante, with Pego recording about 620 mm in 24 hours, AEMET said on Monday.
- Authorities confirmed at least four people have died, including a 35‑year‑old woman swept away in Cabrera de Mar whose body was later recovered.
- Emergency services carried out hundreds of rescues and briefly ordered up to 800,000 residents to shelter indoors while helicopters and the UME evacuated people from rooftops.
- Ibiza and other Balearic airports saw terminals flooded and flights cancelled or diverted, and roads and regional rail services were widely disrupted as teams worked to reopen links.
- Meteorologists say the DANA weather pattern and warm Mediterranean waters favor intense, localized downpours, and officials warn recovery, damage assessment and the risk of further heavy showers will guide the coming days.
