TEHRAN, October 14 - In October 2017, strong winds from Hurricane Ophelia, which travelled north off the coast of Portugal and western Spain, fed forest fires that killed around 40 people during a heatwave.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Ophelia then made landfall in Ireland as a violent storm, killing three people.
Spain's civil protection agency said the storms could still be "very strong locally" and that heavy rain was forecast for the north and east.
On Tuesday, intense rain sparked flash floods in the Spanish holiday island of Majorca, killing 12 people.
