Heavy rains on the south coast of Spain yesterday led to the flooding of streets, homes and businesses. Education was suspended in kindergartens, schools and universities due to the rains. A high level of alert was issued in the autonomous regions of Murcia, Valencia and Andalusia, which have been the most affected areas. Precipitation is expected to continue throughout the week.
The Spanish National Meteorological Agency said that the rains could alleviate the effects of the drought in the country, which has a dry spring season.
