Weather: Storm in Attica, severe weather in Evia [vid]

A second day of bad weather today and since noon showers and thunderstorms have made their appearance in Attica and Evia.

Shortly after 1 p.m., phenomena began to occur in the northern parts of Attica prefecture, which extended to the northern suburbs, and are expected to move further south.

In Evia, severe weather is being experienced in the town of Aliveri since early afternoon. Roads have been turned into a river by the intense storm that is currently “hitting” areas of central and southern Evia, which is at the center of the bad weather.

According to the data, the rains and thunderstorms will hit the mainland, Ionian, Northern Aegean and Crete. The phenomena in the mountainous mainland may be intense in places and accompanied by hailstorms. To this end, caution is recommended on coasts and beaches due to the possibility of “bourines”, especially in the Ionian Sea and Northern Aegean.
