The onset of the country’s bad “Ianos” weather is ongoing, with the western Peloponnese and the Ionian Islands taking the hardest hit.
Deputy Minister of Civil Protection and Crisis Management, Nikos Hardalias, speaking to journalists on Friday morning (09/18) about the hit of bad weather, spoke of a “difficult night” as well as a “battle that continues.”
As he highlighted, a road race is being carried out to repair the damage suffered by the areas affected by the strong winds and torrential rains.
For the next few hours, Hardals said that the cyclone will remain in the west of the country and that from the afternoon it is expected to head south, in the western Peloponnese, weakened.
However, he warned that a part of the cyclone’s thermal gas mass is expected to “meet” a meltemi, resulting in intense weather events from midday in central Greece. This new bad weather “will cause heavy rains in Thessaly, to Karditsa and central Greece, which will receive large volumes of water“He added, adding that the new front will move south and on Saturday it may affect Corinth and Attica.
However, he clarified that Attica will be affected starting at night, not by a cyclone, but by intense meteorological phenomena.
“We remain on absolute alert,” he said, warning that “the next 9 hours will be very critical.”
Regarding disasters, he said that the services have received hundreds of phone calls, most of them due to logging, but not for something very serious and not for something that cannot be managed.
Hardalias added that the Coast Guard is also on alert with many vessels if it needs to intervene.
