Over the course of 12 hours, rain in Madrid might total up to 120 liters per square meter. Jose Luis Martinez-Almeida, the mayor of Madrid, issued a warning to residents to stay inside because the unusual weather could surpass the capital city’s previous rainfall record of 120 liters per square meter.
Residents received texts from emergency agencies alerting them to the possibility of flooding and advising them not to drive. Due to the heavy rain, Sunday’s La Liga match between Atletico Madrid and Sevilla was also postponed.
