Spain's deadliest floods in a generation devastated the eastern region of Valencia in October 2024, sweeping away cars, submerging roads and buildings, cutting off residents and claiming more than 230 lives. The floods and recurring wildfires, including July blazes west of Madrid that forced nearly 60,000 people to flee, have highlighted the risks posed by extreme weather.
