The figures

Coverage: 4 outlets in 4 countries. The article links last a week past the story’s last article; the outlet list is permanent. Of the 4 outlets, 4 private. A count of countries is not a count of independent press systems.
Countries by region: Europe 4: Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Spain. The region a country’s press publishes from, as the feed list files it; the outlets that publish from no single country count as one country under International.
Languages: Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Romanian.
Timeline: Earliest article La Vanguardia, 29 Sept 2026, 15:28 UTC. First seen 29 Sept 2026, 16:10 UTC. Last seen 1 Oct 2026, 13:57 UTC. The earliest article is the earliest claimed publication time among the outlets Loudest reads, a claim rather than an observation and not a record of who broke the story (the data files call it the lead article); first seen is when Loudest first fetched an article of it, from which the running time counts.
Classification: Region Europe, Spain. Topic Environment. Hard news Judged hard news. On the map. Whether the story is hard news under the rule in the methodology, judged from its headlines by a model; a story judged outside the rule is left off the map and kept here. The region and country are where the story is about, not where it was covered.
Score: None now: last seen more than 48 hours ago, so off the ranking. One vote per general-press country and a smaller term for outlets, each counted from the moment it joined the story and fading on its own clock, so a late article does not renew the rest. A day in the archive keeps the score it was ranked by that day.
Chain: Continued by Severe floods and heavy rains hit Spain; VIDEO Inundații și pene de curent în Spania / Ploi torențiale au lovit sudul Cataloniei și provincia Castellón. A story continues another when it resembled it as it began, past that story’s own 48-hour box.
