The Valencia region of Spain is usually dry.

But recently, in just one day, the region had one year's rain.

The streets were like rivers.

The Spanish weather organisation, AEMET, explained.

The heavy rain was because of the weather – there was a 'cold drop'.

In a cold drop, cold air meets warm air.

It makes rain clouds very fast.

Cold drops often happen in the east and south of Spain.

It's because of the mountains and the sea.

On the ground, the rain became big floods.

Over 200 people died.

People in towns like Paiporta are trying to clean up.

Vanesa Cruanyes lives opposite a shop.

During the flood, she saw people couldn't get out.

Neighbours are afraid for local businesses.

They're stopping people stealing things from shops.

Sofia Sánchez is a student.

Heavy rain's now falling on other regions.

The Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, is sending help.

But for Valencia, the future looks dark at the moment.
