A series of ‘brutal’ hail storms in Spain have sparked flash floods strong enough to carry away cars.

Dramatic footage shared on X shows multiple vehicles floating in muddy water in Albacete, one of the hardest hit regions in the southeast of the country.

Hail was also filmed falling in Jaen on Sunday, which is typically one of the hottest provinces in the southernmost region of Andalucia.

In Murcia an incredible photograph shared on X showed the rare formation of mammatus clouds.

The clouds are formed by sinking air, rather than the rising air that creates most clouds, and are often associated with turbulent weather.
