On 29 October 2024, torrential rain caused by an isolated low-pressure area at high levels brought over a year's worth of precipitation to several areas in eastern Spain, including the Valencian Community, Castilla–La Mancha, and Andalusia. The resulting floodwaters caused the deaths of about 237 people and substantial property damage. Often mononymously entitled "DANA", it is one of the deadliest natural disasters in Spanish history.
