The heavy rain across the Comunitat Valenciana over the past 12 hours has caused intermittent power cuts and a number of rivers have burst their banks. 

The fire service has been called out over a hundred times to pump water from flooded ground floors and garages and because of fallen trees and signposts.

The rain has affected towns and villages in La Ribera (Province of Valencia) most of all, where 62 litres of rain per square metre were registered in Guadassuar in the last four hours and almost 60 in Riola.
 
In the same region, the Polinyà de Xúquer and Carcaixent rivers have burst their banks, and the river Júcar has risen dangerously but no-one has had to be evacuated yet.

Gandía port has reopened this morning after being closed due to the storms.

Alboraya train station in Valencia was flooded this morning as a result of heavy rain.

Fire fighters in both Valencia and Alicante have had a busy night attending rain-related emergencies.  In Alicante, 18 emergencies were dealt with, mainly in the Marina Alta, and in Valencia 60 emergencies were recorded, including flooded property, fallen trees, lamp posts and hoardings as well as cornices from buildings falling to the street below.

The power cuts have interfered with the traffic signals in Valencia, where rain was particularly heavy in the early hours of the morning.
