10:00 CEST, Monday 19 October — Oliva. In the 48 hours to that morning, gauges on the coast between Gandia and Dénia had taken up to 720 mm of rain, more than twice the 300 mm Spain's weather agency had warned of. In Oliva, around 2,000 people had been moved out of seven campsites, and helicopters were lifting residents off rooftops. Four people have died across Spain, and Ibiza Airport has recorded its wettest day since 1944. Now the same system is over Catalonia and the Balearics, and eight towns are still waiting to be let out.

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.
