One person killed in Greece’s floods as nation deals with ‘extreme weather phenomenon’

Greece is experiencing heavy rain that has caused floods in homes, businesses, and roads. The extreme weather caused a wall to collapse, resulting in at least one person dying.

In the past day, some areas have received a lot of rain due to a strong storm passing through. This has caused flash floods, which can be very dangerous.

Greece’s leader, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, says they are experiencing very bad weather and wants people to listen to the authorities.

The rainfall is very heavy in central Greece and on the island of Evia and the Sporades Islands.

A man was killed on Tuesday when a wall fell on him in a village called Agios Georgios, near the city of Volos. The Greek fire service reported this.

Another man is missing because his car was carried away on the edges of Volos, as reported by the fire service to CNN.

The police in Volos and nearby areas, and also on Skiathos island, have prohibited traffic movement. Part of the hospital in Volos has been flooded.

The storm named Daniel by meteorologists in southeast Europe is moving slowly across the country towards the southwest.

The middle part of the storm is moving towards the Mediterranean Sea, but it will still cause a lot of rain and flooding in Greece and nearby islands in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Warnings for heavy rain and thunderstorms have been posted for several provinces, specifically the coastlines in the east. The thunderstorms will happen regularly until Wednesday.

When the storm moves into the Mediterranean Sea, it might become similar to a tropical storm.

Medicanes are like tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic or typhoons in the Pacific, and they can create dangerous situations in the Mediterranean Sea and coastal countries.

The storm might get stronger in the next day or two because the temperature of the sea is warm, around 27 to 30 degrees Celsius, in the eastern Mediterranean.

The storm is arriving just when Greece is finally getting the wildfires under control after they caused a lot of damage in the country for several weeks.

Scientists say that the very bad weather in Greece this summer, like floods, fires, and extreme heat, will happen more often and get worse if people keep burning fossil fuels that warm the planet.
