Spain’s Deadliest Weather Pattern Just Returned - And Valencia Is Under a RED Warning

Описание: A red warning, a shaking floor, a volcano near your holiday: would you know your next step? 56 methods for home and away: https://themeridiandeskstore.com

10:00 CEST, Sunday 18 October — Gandia. Spain's weather agency AEMET has put the coast from Cullera to Altea under a red warning, its highest level, for up to 300 litres of rain per square metre in 24 hours, and calls the danger "extraordinary". DANA Adam belongs to the same family of storms behind Valencia's deadly floods of October 2024, and on its first day it set off phone alerts from Catalonia to Almería. What AEMET cannot yet say is where on this coast the storm will stall, and the next 48 hours decide it.

The Meridian Desk tracks the planet from the European side of the map — earthquakes, eruptions, floods, windstorms, heatwaves, and the space weather that lights up northern skies. Every video delivers the data, what Europe's own agencies are saying, and what comes next in twenty to twenty-five minutes.

New videos three to four times a week.
