Iberian Peninsula Flooding

Iberian Peninsula Flooding refers to significant and often sudden inundation events that occur in the region of the Iberian Peninsula, which comprises Spain and Portugal. This flooding can result from various factors, including heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or storms, particularly during certain seasons when weather patterns lead to excessive precipitation. The region’s geography, with its mountains and rivers, can contribute to the severity and rapid onset of floods, impacting communities, agriculture, infrastructure, and the environment. The term encompasses both historical and contemporary flooding incidents, highlighting the need for effective water management and disaster preparedness strategies to mitigate the effects of such natural occurrences.
