Greece: Adverse weather forecast across much of the country through at least May 10
Severe weather forecast across much of Greece through at least May 10. Disruptions to transport, business, and utilities possible.
Authorities will likely issue new alerts or update/rescind existing advisories as weather conditions change over the coming days.
Sustained heavy rainfall could trigger flooding in low-lying communities near rivers, streams, and creeks. Urban flooding is also possible in developed areas with easily overwhelmed stormwater drainage systems. Sites downstream from large reservoirs or rivers may be subject to flash flooding after relatively short periods of intense rainfall. Landslides are possible in hilly or mountainous areas, especially where heavy rain has saturated the soil.
Authorities could issue mandatory evacuation orders for flood-prone communities over the coming days. https://crisis24.garda.com/alerts/2024/05/greece-adverse-weather-forecast-across-much-of-the-country-through-at-least-may-10Forecast for Kef not too bad
