List of cold drop events
This list of cold drop events chronologically compiles the heavy rainfall events caused by cold drops (Spanish: Gota Fría) that have resulted in serious flooding. In Spain, cold drops often cause intense rainfall and are created by the interaction of upper-level low pressure systems strangled and ultimately detached from the zonal (eastward) circulation displaying stationary or retrograde (westward) circulation with humid and warmer air masses provided by an overheated Mediterranean in the Autumn.
