The floods have trapped many residents in various towns throughout the province of Valencia, causing power outages and significant transportation disruptions. Road services have been suspended as multiple routes are impassable, while train services have been affected and flights at Valencia Airport have been diverted or canceled due to flooding.
On Tuesday, the Valencia weather station recorded an astonishing 445.4 liters of rain per square meter—the highest amount recorded in a single day since September 11, 1966, when Tavernes de la Val saw 520 liters per square meter.
