After terrible fires, severe floods strike Greece

A very rare hurricane/cyclone-like storm in the Mediterranean Sea, due to very hot waters from Europe’s 2023 heat dome, may be emerging this week, that could dump astronomical amounts of rain and cause flooding in Greece. Extreme forecasts of well over 500 mm of rain (less likely, but some models suggest maybe up to 2000 mm / 78 inches of rain) in 48 hours!. Hurricane-level wind gust also recorded already. But the extreme volume of rain could cause severe amount of flooding

Nahel Belgherze (@WxNB_): "Here are some of the rainfall amounts over the past 24 hours: Zagora: 780 mm (634 mm since midnight) Portaria: 545 mm (446 mm since midnight) Volos: 279 mm Agia Larissa: 196 mm Pezoula: 188 mm Data @meteogr via @KeraunosObs" | nitter – https://nitter.net/WxNB_/status/1699018303849586757#m
