The South Aegean regional authority has announced that all schools, from nursery to high school, across the Cyclades and Dodecanese will remain closed on Thursday, citing safety concerns as Storm Erminio continues to impact the country.
The decision, reached Wednesday following closures already in place, comes as the powerful weather system moves across Greece, bringing heavy rainfall, intense thunderstorms, and strong winds. Meteorologists warn that the severe conditions are expected to persist through Thursday.
In the wider Athens area, residents received emergency alerts on their mobile phones Wednesday as the storm intensified, prompting heightened caution among local authorities.
Officials in other parts of the country are closely monitoring developments, with municipalities expected to decide later in the day whether schools in their areas will remain open or closed on Thursday.
