Severe weather causes widespread destruction across Greece

A severe weather system struck Greece starting late on the evening of September 26, 2026, causing significant infrastructure damage and flooding across several regions. The island of Evia has been effectively split in two, with major road access to the north closed due to landslides and flooding. Emergency services are currently assessing the impact as critical conditions persist.

In Skiathos, heavy rainfall turned streets into rivers, flooding the coastal area, damaging shop equipment, and causing power outages. Simultaneously, a tornado struck Parga, destroying power lines and infrastructure, leaving several communities without electricity. The weather system also impacted parts of the Peloponnese, Thessaly, and the Sporades. Local authorities and emergency response units remain on high alert to address ongoing damage and recovery efforts as weather conditions gradually stabilize.
