And similarly a Spanish-speaking country but a different one Spain. They've had some severe flooding recently. So what happened is what they call you get this a highly localized weather phenomenon that occurs in Spain and they call it depression, aclada en nevales altos and it's called Dana. So Delta alpha November alpha. And what it is is basically it's a it's an upper level low so you you have an isolated depression that forms at the higher levels in the troposphere. And when this depression right this this closed low moves over warmer waters particularly the waters in the Mediterranean which are very very warm at this time of the year. You have thunderstorms because this air mass is convectively unstable because it gets broken off from the broader jet stream it's moving very slowly in fact it could be associated with a blocking pattern right just sort of if you have a block of some sort this thing will sit on the edge of the block because it's removed from the jet stream contributing to the blocking pattern even though it's not a high-pressure zone. And when it sits over the Mediterranean it'll draw in moisture because it's spinning counterclockwise you'll draw in moisture over parts of Spain and they will just get continuous thunderstorms and rainfall until this thing moves off so you get immense flooding. Let me drop it.
