As of October 23, 2026, at least five people have died and over 500 were rescued due to severe flooding caused by heavy rainfall from Storm Adam in eastern Spain. The storm dumped up to 700 liters (185 gallons) of rain per square meter in some areas of the Valencia region within a single day, cutting off several towns along the Mediterranean coast and transforming streets into fast-flowing torrents. Two deaths occurred in Oliva, one each in Sagunto and Catalonia, with flooding isolating many residents and forcing thousands to stay indoors under shelter-in-place orders. Emergency services rescued more than 400 people by land and air, while around 2,100 were evacuated from affected areas. The Balearic Islands also experienced disruptions with over 130 incidents recorded in Ibiza, including flight delays due to standing water at the airport.
