Area. For days, unusually heavy rainfall has been flooding entire regions in Spain. The record: 130 litres per square metre. At the airport in Madrid, a heavy rain and hailstorm flooded the tarmac. The extreme rainfall follows the heaviest spring drought in Spain since records began in 1961. The parched soils cannot absorb the water.
