Meteorologists have blamed ‘Dana’ for this torrential rain. They believe this happens when a cold air system collides with the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Whereas its effects are often local. Similar events wreaked havoc in 1966 and 1957, when the Turia river overflowed and destroyed the city of Valencia.
