“Storm waves interact for several hours with sea areas, warm sea surfaces, it is difficult to identify the areas that will release the largest volume of water. A cold mass and a warm mass are coming. They collide with each other and in combination with the sea create the extreme phenomena that hit Spain”, he explained afterwards.
“Meteorological stations showed in the Siva area, west of Valencia, 450 millimeters, which means 450 tons of water / hectare. In Valencia they gave about 180 – 200 millimeters. We are talking about an extreme situation. In one year, these millimeters of water fall in Athens.
From satellite measurements, it is estimated that around 200-300 mm of rain fell in parts of Spain. These systems are trapped and swirled over warm sea areas, so there is a feedback, so we will see phenomena in the coming days as well,” noted the meteorologist about the volume of water that fell during the heavy rains.
“Climate change creates widespread anticyclones. We will also face these atmospheric mountains in the coming years in Europe and other regions of the world. The seas act as heat reservoirs, they store amounts of heat, so when these bad weather forms they are likely to interact for several hours and it is almost certain that we will also face them in our region”, he also emphasized.
For the biblical disaster, according to the scientific community, the DANA phenomenon, known in Spain and France as “gota fria”, that is, “cold drop”, is responsible. The phenomenon occurs when cold air moves over the warm waters of the Mediterranean, creating atmospheric instability. It automatically causes a rapid rise of warm-saturated air, resulting in the creation of dense clouds, full of water, which can remain in the same area for many hours, increasing their destructive potential. The phenomenon sometimes causes heavy hail and tornadoes as seen this week, forecasters say.
The origin of the term ‘gota fria’ dates back to 1886 when German scientists introduced the concept of ‘kaltlufttropfen’, or cold air drop, to describe turbulence at high altitude but with no apparent surface reflection.
Spain’s meteorological agency Aemet says the concept of cold drops is outdated and defines DANA as a high-altitude closed trough that has become isolated and separated from an associated airstream.
Eastern and southern Spain are more sensitive
Eastern and southern Spain are particularly sensitive to the phenomenon due to their location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. Warm, moist air masses and cold masses meet in an area where mountains favor the formation of storm clouds and precipitation.

This week’s DANA was one of the three most intense such storms in the last century in the Valencia region, said Ruben del Campo, a spokesman for the national weather service Aemet. “The predictions were in line with what happened. But in an area between Utiel and Chiva in the province of Valencia, rainfall exceeded 300 liters per square meter. In this area, storm systems were constantly forming and re-forming,” he explained.
Is it linked to the climate crisis?
While experts say it will take time to analyze all the data to determine whether this particular DANA was caused by the climate crisis, most agree that rising temperatures in the Mediterranean and warmer, wetter atmospheric conditions are contributing to more frequent extreme events . “We can’t say anything for sure, except that in the context of climate change, these types of events will be more frequent and more intense,” said Spanish meteorologist and researcher Dr. Ernesto Rodríguez Camino.
Spain – Valencia: At least 95 dead from the floods
At least 95 people, including children, are the latest “black” toll from the flash floods that hit the province of Valencia, in southeastern Spain, late yesterday afternoon (29/10).
The worst flash floods in three decades have swept through the Valencia region in eastern Spain after torrential rains on Tuesday left towns and roads submerged.
Three days of national mourning
The Spanish government has declared three days of national mourning today after heavy flooding has killed at least 64 people in southeastern Spain, according to the latest estimates. The three-day mourning will begin tomorrow, Thursday, October 31, and will last until Saturday, November 2, Ángel Victor Torres, Minister of Territorial Policy, told reporters, adding that Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will travel to the site tomorrow.
A Greek resident who lives in the Valencia region, speaking to the First Program, initially emphasized that “We experienced scenes of the Apocalypse”. Afterwards, Mr. Pierre Orphanidis characteristically mentioned the following: “It took at least 5 hours to call 112. We have not experienced this phenomenon for 30 years. Rain fell that falls in a year, in an hour.’ And at the same time he added “We Greeks are safe. We are a small community of 25 people.” Finally, once again he pointed out: “The meteorologists had warned us, but not about the intensity of the phenomenon.”
Earlier, the Spanish prime minister, addressing the citizens, stressed that they should remain cautious. Pedro Sanchez said yellow warnings are still in place in several areas of southern Spain, he says.
Residents of areas such as Valencia, Andalusia and Catalonia should take precautions. Try not to drive or be near bridges, he says, urging people not to put their lives at risk.
Spain has suffered many emergencies in recent years, but the country always shows its best side in difficult situations, he says, referring to the Covid-19 pandemic and previous natural disasters. Continuing, Spain’s prime minister tells flood victims “we will not abandon you.”
He says many people are facing uncertainty, but Spain will help them – and have all the resources for people to get their lives and homes back.
Emergency services are working tirelessly, he says, including local police, NGOs and the Guardia Civil – the national police force with military status.
Sanchez says a government crisis committee, which was set up yesterday, will continue to work with the mayors of the affected areas. Sanchez concluded his remarks with an appeal to residents in the affected areas to heed the warnings issued by officials. We have not been given any significant update on the number of people killed or injured due to the floods. At this time, we know that at least 51 people are known to have died.
Torrential rains flooded roads and towns on Tuesday, causing cars to drift onto roads, a train derailment and damage to homes and buildings.
Authorities in the worst-hit areas had advised people to stay at home and avoid unnecessary travel.

According to state broadcaster TVE, police said at least 13 people had died in the floods that hit southeastern Spain.
Hours earlier, the leader of the Valencia region told reporters that bodies had been found, but did not give a number “out of respect for the families”.
“They were found dead, but out of respect for the families, we will not give more details,” said Carlos Mathon, head of local authorities in the Valencia region. The media even mention 13 dead, including children.
On Tuesday night, authorities said at least seven were missing: six in the city of Letur, in the province of Albacete, in the Castile-La Mancha region, and another — a truck driver — in the city of Alcudia, in the Valencia region.

Earlier, the national government office for the Castilla La Mancha region told Cadena Ser radio channel that six people in the region were missing.
In Letur, near the Sierra de Segura, 30 people were trapped when the river that runs through the town swelled.
Dozens of videos shared on social media appeared to show people trapped in floodwaters, several hanging from trees to avoid being swept away. Authorities used helicopters to rescue some residents from their homes.

Other videos shared by Spanish broadcasters showed floodwaters rising to the lower levels of houses and even carrying cars onto the street.
Radio and television stations received hundreds of calls for help from people trapped in flooded areas or searching for loved ones, as emergency services were unable to reach all affected locations.
Radio and TV stations are receiving hundreds of calls for help from people trapped in flooded areas or looking for loved ones, the BBC reports, as emergency services struggle to reach some areas.
Emergency workers are using drones to search for the missing in the town of Letur r, local official Milagros Tolon told Spanish public broadcaster TVE. “The priority is to find these people,” he said.
Spain’s state meteorological agency AEMET declared a red alert in the Valencia region, while areas in Andalusia were also put on alert.
Some areas such as Touris and Utiel recorded 200 millimeters of rain.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is following reports of missing people “with concern” “I am informed with concern about the information about missing people and damage caused by the storm in the last hours,” Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said via X, also calling on citizens to follow the instructions of the authorities. “Be very careful and avoid useless movements,” he stressed.

It looks like you’ve pasted a code snippet related to ad management and various script loading functions for an online platform. This snippet contains several features:
1. **AdSense Script Loading**: The code appears to be handling the removal of AdSense ad slots for mobile and desktop views based on certain conditions.
2. **Adman Integration**: It also includes a stub for the integration of Phaistos Adman, with the intention to define an ad unit.
3. **OneSignal Initialization**: It initializes OneSignal, a service for push notifications, using a specific application ID.
4. **Disqus Configuration**: There’s a setup for Disqus comments, which includes a dynamic script inclusion based on a configured page identifier.
5. **CleverCore Integration**: There is commented-out code for integrating CleverCore, which seems to be temporarily inactive or awaiting further implementation.
6. **Taboola/Project Agora**: This section is also prepared for integrating advertising services, though it is incomplete.
7. **Additional Ad Services**: The code includes placeholders and timers for loading scripts for various ad services like Google AdSense, Glomex, and Dalecta.
Here are some suggestions regarding the development and functionality of such scripts:
– **asyncLoadScript**: Ensure that the `asyncLoadScript` function is properly defined elsewhere in your codebase. This function should handle the loading of scripts asynchronously, which is essential for not blocking the rendering of the page.
– **Error Handling**: Add error handling in script loading to handle scenarios where the file might fail to load. This ensures that if one service fails, it doesn’t hinder the loading of other resources.
– **Performance**: Consider reviewing your ad loading strategy for performance optimization, such as lazy loading ads or deferring the loading of non-essential scripts until the page has fully loaded.
- **Comment Clarity**: Keep the comments clear and concise, especially in larger codebases. This can greatly help others (or future you) understand the functionality and purpose of the specific code sections.
– **Use of Placeholders**: Review and replace placeholders for URLs and script sources with actual values or variables that contain these sources. This enhances code clarity and maintainability.
Here is a rough outline of how you might structure the completion of the `asyncLoadScript` calls:
“`javascript
function asyncLoadScript(scriptUrl) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
const script = document.createElement(‘script’);
script.src = scriptUrl;
script.async = true;
script.onload = () => resolve();
script.onerror = () => reject(new Error(`Failed to load script: ${scriptUrl}`));
(document.head || document.body).appendChild(script);
});
}
// Example usage:
asyncLoadScript(‘https://example.com/some-ad-library.js’)
.then(() => {
console.log(‘Script loaded successfully.’);
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
“`
Make sure to fill in any missing URLs or variables based on your project requirements. This guide aims to help you with improvements and completion of the script management process for your online platform.
