On July 24, 2026, a severe weather front hit Greece, characterized by intense storms, hail, and a significant drop in temperature. Meteorological reports noted extreme atmospheric instability, with over 100,000 lightning strikes recorded within a few hours across the country.

Emergency services issued 112 alerts for residents in Fthiotida, Larissa, Magnesia, and the Sporades to exercise caution. The storm caused notable damage, particularly in Fthiotida, where strong winds uprooted trees and ripped a roof off a structure in Makrakomi, causing damage to parked vehicles.
