Irish holidaymakers have been warned of the flash flooding last week in Madrid, Murcia and Valencia, however, conditions have improved
Some parts of Spain have been hit with flash flooding, as holidaymakers are advised to keep up to date with conditions before travelling.
Flash flooding has turned streets in Murcia into rivers as buildings flooded and road closures have taken effect across southern parts of the country. Authorities battled to drain the streets as the extreme weather follows weeks of drought. Some parts in the Valencia region recorded more rainfall during a few days last week than they did in the previous six months, AEMET, the national weather agency, reported.
Molina del Segura is also an area of concern as rescue forces have been brought in due to the situation potentially becoming life-threatening.
