started August 25, 2026 at 6:30 PM · last changed 2d ago

Summary

Extreme weather struck parts of Spain on August 24-25: Tarragona experienced heavy rain, large hail and flash floods that swept people away, with reports of about 100 dead pigeons, a partial roof collapse at a shopping center, eleven injured in nearby Roda de Bera, and several injured in Tarragona itself. The same weather system hit the Balearic Islands where mini-tsunamis (rissague) flooded beaches in San Antonio, Alcudia, Andratx and other ports, leading to the cancellation of a concert and Stage 3 of the Vuelta a España.
