Briefing by News4U · First published
A new wave of severe weather brought heavy rain and thunderstorms to parts of Greece on Monday, with Rhodes hit hard in the early hours as rivers overflowed in eastern villages such as Archangelos, sweeping cars away and flooding roads and businesses. Civil Protection teams and local authorities worked to clear debris and restore traffic after an emergency alert; schools in the municipal units of Archangelos and Afantou on Rhodes will remain closed by local decision, Euronews reported, with further rain still possible.
