Heavy rainfall in Catalonia disrupts transport, floods hospital, echoes Valencia's deadly 2024 floods.

Catalonia, Spain, faced severe heavy rainfall on July 12, leading to train service suspensions and road closures. Up to 10 cm of rain in a few hours near Barcelona caused a hospital to flood and forced a plane to turn back due to hail damage. This follows last October's floods in Valencia, which killed 225 people.
