Published
Greece is preparing for two days of intense weather phenomena, as a powerful wave of bad weather is expected to hit a large part of the country. Meteorologists are warning of heavy rainfall, severe storms, and very strong winds that will affect many regions.
According to forecasts, the phenomenon will begin immediately, with Athens and Attica at the center of attention. Authorities are urging citizens to be particularly careful during their travels, as gale-force winds may cause problems for road traffic and maritime transport.
In addition to the capital, the bad weather is expected to significantly affect the Aegean islands as well. Residents and visitors are advised to monitor official announcements from the Civil Protection and to avoid unnecessary travel during the most intense phases of the phenomena.
Competent services are on standby to deal with any flooding or damage that may be caused by the intensity of the rainfall. Citizens are advised to secure objects that could be swept away by the wind and to follow the instructions of local authorities.
The situation is expected to remain difficult for the next 48 hours. Citizens can stay continuously informed about the development of the weather through news bulletins and the websites of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service, in order to take the necessary protective measures.
