Severe weather conditions are predicted for Greece over the next 24 hours, with heavy rainfall potentially resulting in flooding and landslides in saturated areas.
Meteorologist Giorgos Tsatrafylias is warning the public about dangerous weather conditions expected in Greece over the next day. According to Tsatrafylias, significant rainfall could lead to river overflow and localized flooding, particularly in regions already saturated from previous rains, such as western and southern Peloponnese, western Aetolia-Acarnania, Cephalonia-Ithaca, Zakynthos, southern Crete, the eastern Aegean, and the Dodecanese islands.
Additionally, strong gusty winds from the northwest and southwest, reaching up to 9-10 Beaufort, are expected in these areas, which could result in falling trees and branches, damage to roofs and temporary structures, travel disruptions, and power outages. The meteorologist emphasizes the necessity for residents to remain vigilant during this time, especially in the provinces that have faced recent torrential rains, placing them at increased risk of natural disasters.
The foreboding weather forecast reflects a significant concern for affected regions that have already faced challenges from previous weather events. Authorities and residents are encouraged to take precautions to reduce the impacts of potential flooding and ensure safety in these vulnerable areas, which could affect infrastructure and public safety significantly if conditions worsen further, making proactive measures critical for the coming days.
