On Friday, Greece was hit by a powerful cyclonic system named Byron, which led to the closure of schools and disruption of public services and transportation. Torrential rains affected regions such as Attica, Peloponnese, Crete, and the islands in the Aegean Sea, and authorities issued emergency alerts, urging the population to avoid unnecessary travel.


Severe flooding was reported, and the Athens-Corinth highway was closed due to the floods. The fire service received numerous calls for assistance, and in Attica, all schools were closed. The storm will continue until Saturday, with intense precipitation and risks of hail and strong winds. Meteorologists warned that the phenomenon will continue to affect areas already vulnerable to flooding.
