Albacete sits in Spain’s dry continental interior, where hot summers and cold winters produce a semi-arid climate with modest annual rainfall concentrated in short, sometimes intense spring and autumn storms.
In Castile-La Mancha’s dry interior plain, the city’s flood risk comes mainly from occasional intense, short-lived storms rather than routine rainfall. Because the region normally receives little rain, its rivers and drainage systems can be quickly overwhelmed when a storm does arrive, making radar tracking of individual storm cells especially useful for anticipating flash flooding.
