On the anniversary of the devastating Valencia floods, the southern Spanish provinces of Seville and Huelva were hit with torrential rain and winds that flooded city streets and caused the cancellation of hundreds of inter-regional trains.

Heavy rain and stormy conditions battered western provinces of Andalusia on Wednesday, causing over a thousand incidents and the cancellation of trains across the region.

Hundreds of local, medium and long distance services were suspended between Seville, Huelva and Málaga due to flooding following the sudden downpours.

On the anniversary of the deadly Valencia floods, videos shared on social media showed torrential downpours and flooding in residential areas with water rising to wheel or bonnet-level on parked cars. Gale force winds tore through streets across the western part of the region, causing damage and injuries.

State broadcaster RTVE reports that 150 litres/m2 of rain fell in just 13 hours in Seville and Huelva.
