Majorca is braced for potential flooding as the popular holiday island is due to be hit by a storm days after another devastated Valencia.
More than 200 people died in Spain after severe flooding in Valencia and surrounding areas led to the country’s deadliest natural disaster in living memory.
Authorities are now warning that more storms are expected to hit other parts of the couhntry.
The Spanish weather agency issued alerts for strong rains in parts of the Balearic Islands including Majorca.
A warning is in place on the island – a popular destination among British holidaymakers – from 10am on Friday, says weather forecaster Aemet.
It predicts that some areas of Majorca could see 50mm – two inches – of rain could fall in the space of just one hour.

Spouting climate narrative again. What about the nice weather? Scientists wouldn't say due to climate change, would they?

This is not climate change.
This is karma. The rapture. This is truly biblical. Man, be prepared from the coming.
Climate change hmm 🤔 i think it may have something to do with rerouting an entire river in order to pedestrianise Valenicia town centre
