Severe Weather: Message from 112 also in Serifos
Residents in Serifos have been advised to limit their movements due to severe weather conditions, following an earlier alert in Chios.
Residents of Serifos have been urged to restrict their travel to only essential trips in coastal areas owing to intense weather phenomena. This warning was communicated via a message from the emergency services number 112. The advisory comes as severe weather has affected multiple regions in Greece, leading to safety concerns in coastal and vulnerable areas. Earlier, similar alerts had been issued in Chios as part of broader public safety measures to cope with the ongoing adverse conditions.
The weather events reported include stormy conditions expected in various parts of the country, including the western and northern regions. Additionally, strong southern winds and the presence of African dust have been noted, which complicates the weather system further. The warnings illustrate a continuing trend of severe weather impacting Greece, leading to significant disruptions, including travel restrictions at major ports such as Piraeus, Rafina, and Lavrio, due to dangerous sea conditions.
As the weather situation develops, other regions, including Epirus, have reported issues such as landslides and rock falls as a result of the storms. These incidents highlight the critical need for public caution and preparedness in facing natural disasters. The overall impact of severe weather in Greece raises concerns for local authorities as they coordinate responses to ensure public safety and minimize disruption to daily life.
