New storm hits Spain just weeks after deadly floods.

On Wednesday, two weeks after flash floods in Valencia and other parts of Spain killed more than 220 people and destroyed thousands of homes, new storms caused school closures and train cancellations.

On Wednesday evening, Valencia's coastal regions were put on the highest alert due to the forecast of up to 7 inches of rain in the next five hours.

The cleanup efforts in Valencia, particularly in the areas affected by the Oct. 29 storm, were ongoing, and there were worries about the potential impact of additional rain on the already mud- and debris-covered streets.

In southern Malaga province, streets were flooded, and 3,000 people near the Guadalhorce river were relocated as a precautionary measure. Schools throughout the province were shut down, as were numerous stores. Train service was halted between Malaga and Madrid, as well as between Barcelona and Valencia.

The regional government of Valencia restricted the use of private vehicles in areas affected by the October storm until Thursday. This was done to prevent further damage caused by tsunami-like floods that resulted in severe car pile-ups.

There were no reports of deaths due to the new storms.

The Spanish weather forecaster AEMET issued a red alert for Malaga, stating that approximately 3 inches of rain had fallen in an hour. Additionally, parts of Tarragona province in the east experienced heavy rain and were also placed under red alert.

The Billie Jean King Cup tennis finals between Spain and Poland, scheduled for Wednesday, were delayed due to a forecast in Malaga.

The formation of powerful rain clouds in Spain's storm system is due to the collision of warm and cold air masses, according to experts. They predict that drought and flood cycles are becoming more frequent with climate change.
