Ibiza Airport Records 173.8 mm of Rain on October 18, Its Highest Daily Total Since 1944
Data from Spain's State Meteorological Agency (AEMET) show that the weather station at Ibiza Airport recorded 173.8 millimetres of rain on October 18, the highest daily total at the station since records began in 1944.
The rain came from the cut-off low named Adam, which swept Spain's Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands over the weekend; the agency at one point issued a red warning for Ibiza and Formentera.
Several places in the Balearic Islands saw flooded streets and disrupted flights over the weekend. AEMET had forecast that the episode could accumulate 200 to 300 millimetres of rain in the worst-hit areas.
