There are currently several active tropical cyclones over the Atlantic. Category 2 hurricane “Sally” hit the southern coast of the United States (Alabama, Florida Panhandle area) on Wednesday and is causing destruction by storms, heavy rains and storm surge.
But something is also happening in the Mediterranean: in the area of a low altitude, a thunderstorm formed on Tuesday over the very warm Mediterranean north of Libya, which has turned into a drug and is now moving towards Greece.
“Ianos” heads to Greece
Already on Thursday the Medicane will cause storm gusts and hurricanes, large amounts of rain and high waves in the Ionian Sea. It is expected to face western Greece early Friday morning. In addition to storms, there is also the threat of torrential rains with 200 to 400 mm in some places until Saturday. The Greek weather service also warns about the risk of tornadoes.
