According to the forecast, a rare hurricane system known as “medicine” is targeting Greece.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said a strong, tropical-like system was keeping an eye on Greece, threatening to bring destructive winds, torrential rains and flooding.
The hurricane system advanced beyond Libya’s northern coast on Tuesday and swept into the Mediterranean Sea, where it strengthened.

In anticipation of the hurricane, Greece’s National Weather Service has issued a Red Warning, which is most available for wind, rain and stormy conditions, before its arrival.
The UK’s Met Office said the hurricanes were slowly getting stronger and were forecast to turn south before reaching the Greek coast on Friday.
“Heavy rain and strong winds are expected in the southwestern parts of Greece in the next few days.” Met Office Fees said.
The word “medicine” is a combination of the words “Mediterranean” and “hurricane” due to the location of the storm.
“Medicine” is expected to affect Greece by Friday, according to forecasts.

But on rare occasions, such systems form due to the warm sea surface temperature.
The therapy is similar to hurricanes in that they show strong winds that circle around the “eye” but usually do not have as much wind speed.

According to a Greek reporter, such storms can occur in early winter or early winter when hot water from above can fill hurricanes.
The current sea level in the Mediterranean Sea is allowing “perfect conditions” for the development of such a storm system, according to the news outlet.
While this latest hurricane will not cause widespread destruction, it is bringing heavy winds and heavy rains.
