Ibiza saw an unusual bout of hail on Monday (December 29), a rare weather event for the Mediterranean island, as storms continued to batter parts of eastern and southern Spain over the past week.

Torrential rains flooded Spain's southern and eastern provinces over the weekend, with three persons dead on Monday evening as overflowing riverbeds swept away cars and motorcycles and authorities warned residents to stay indoors.

In Valencia, where deadly floods in October last year killed over 220 people and caused billions of euros in damage, authorities issued red alert warnings to people's phones on Sunday (December 28) evening urging them to stay indoors and on high ground.
