After a bit of Googling - I've found out the intese rains we have had this week have a name - the Gota Fria (the Cold Drop) - and it happens at the change from summer to autumn.
From Spanish Wiki: The cold drop, is a non-frontal extratropical atmospheric disturbance that can cause exceptional violent and intense rainfall during a few hours or days with lightening and hail.
Spanish news this week has been dominated by stories of the devastation caused by this weeks rains.
I'm not sure having a name makes it any better BUT it does seem to be over for this year, the sun is back.
