Bad weather is expected to return from Sunday afternoon, with heavy rain and storms that will start in the north and spread throughout Greece. The weather service has also warned of snow, especially at higher altitudes and in eastern parts of the country, combined with a sharp drop in temperatures and near gale-force winds.
Based on current forecasts, the bad weather will continue in the east and south of the country until next Tuesday.
Civil protection mechanisms are currently on stand-by for floods in the Evros region, where settlements are considered at risk of flooding due to the large volume of water in the Evros River. Defense Minister Panos Kammenos and Hellenic National Defense General Staff chief General Mikhail Kostarakos visited the area on Saturday to help coordinate army efforts to assist local communities.
