The town of Alzira was affected this Thursday by a strong storm that caused a meteorological phenomenon known as a 'humid downburst'. These types of events are characterized by very intense precipitation in a short period and high-speed winds.
According to available information, the phenomenon resulted in torrential rain records in the city, causing potential water accumulation and impacts on public roads. The force of the wind was also notable, contributing to the storm's intensity.
Humid downbursts are meteorological events that occur when warm, moist air at the surface comes into contact with cooler air in the upper layers of the atmosphere, generating short-lived but very violent storms.
