Severe weather battering Greece has prompted the closure of schools on Tuesday across five Aegean islands—Mykonos, Paros, Rhodes, Kos, and Symi—following decisions by their respective mayors.
The storm, which has already unleashed torrential rain, triggered flash floods and caused property damage on Mykonos and Paros, where heavy downpours struck in just a few hours.
As the tempest shifts focus, Rhodes, Kos, and Symi are bracing for the worst on Tuesday, leading authorities to shutter schools as a precaution. Meanwhile, a fresh alert from Greece’s 112 emergency service was sent out overnight, warning residents of Chios, Samos, and Ikaria in the northeastern Aegean to stay vigilant. “Severe weather, locally intense, expected in Chios, Samos, and Ikaria from now until the early hours of April 1, 2025. Exercise caution with travel,” the message read, as the storm continues its disruptive path across the region.
