Flash floods hit the northeastern city and province of Zaragoza and Barcelona and surrounding areas in Catalonia as 25 of the country’s provinces were issued with storm alerts.
The extreme weather was caused by DANA (high level isolated depression), a phenomenon in the Mediterranean that can bring intense rainfall to localised areas and was responsible for devastating floods in Valencia in October 2024.
