A third wave of severe weather this week is set to hit Greece, bringing thunderstorms, a sharp drop in temperatures, and snowfall at higher elevations, news outlets iefimerida and Ta Nea reported. According to forecasts, the system will move in from the north, affecting mainly central, eastern, and southern areas before easing gradually on Sunday.

The incoming front follows a particularly wet week marked by flash floods on the island of Skiathos and severe storms in Crete. Authorities have urged residents in affected regions to exercise caution, avoid crossing swollen streams, and secure loose objects ahead of strong winds and heavy rainfall.
