Heavy downpour causes severe flooding and road closures in Telde, Spain

On November 4, 2026, in Telde, Gran Canaria, Spain, @Davinona shared a video showing severe urban flooding following a sudden downpour. In the video, heavy rainfall leaves the roadway submerged under standing water as several vehicles drive through the flooded streets, creating large splashes along the lanes. According to reports, a sudden and intense downpour struck Telde around midday, flooding several streets and causing significant traffic disruptions. More than 100 flood-related incidents were reported across the municipality, particularly in the town center, San Gregorio, San Juan, and eastern neighborhoods. The accumulation of water forced authorities to close Avenida del Cabildo (GC-10) toward the coast after an underpass beneath the GC-1 became flooded. The incident also caused significant traffic congestion on the GC-1, prompting local authorities to advise residents to avoid unnecessary travel.
