Storm warning prompts Greece to raise alert level across 11 regions

Source: https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1310439/storm-warning-prompts-greece-to-raise-alert-level-across-11-regions/

Greece has placed 11 regions on high alert as authorities prepare for severe weather expected to bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, strong winds and possible hail from Friday through Saturday.

The National Meteorological Service (EMY) issued an emergency weather warning, prompting the Civil Protection Ministry to activate its national response mechanism and place affected areas under “Red Code” mobilization.

The measure requires authorities to deploy personnel, equipment and emergency resources in preparation for possible flooding, storm damage and other hazards.

The Risk Assessment Committee, convened by Civil Protection Secretary-General Nikos Papaefstathiou, said the most intense weather on Friday is expected in the Sporades islands, central and northern Evia, and coastal areas of Larissa and Magnesia. Storms are also forecast for Attica, including Athens, as well as parts of Central Macedonia and Central Greece.

The affected areas include Attica, Thessaloniki, Pieria, Imathia, Halkidiki, Larissa, Magnesia, the Sporades, Evia, Thasos, Samothrace and Lemnos.

On Saturday, storms are expected to ease across mainland Greece but may remain locally strong in parts of the Aegean.

3rd Classical music festival on Skopelos

On the 23rd (tomorrow) the 25th and the 27th of July there are classical concerts in
Episkopi (23rd and 27th) and the monastery of Kontronaki on the 25th of July. They are all starting around 20.30 hours.

Episkopi:
Drive out of town along the health center, along McFish and go straight over the crossing. After about 50 meters on your right hand side you will see an old stone wall. Just in front of it is a path leading to the entrance. If you drive on you will find a better parking space than close to the venue.

Kontronaki:
Drive out of town to Stafylos. Pass Sklavenitis supermarket and turn left immediately after that. Follow the road until it forks and then turn left. After about a hundred meters the monastery is on your left down in the valley.

Respect for nature

The spring of Agia Marina is a wonderful place to visit and, if you want, drink water. The flow and power of the water coming out of the opening is different during the year. In winter and spring the waterflow is the strongest but in summer there is less water that flows.

If you are connected in any way to nature you will agree with me that it was ingenious of somebody to place a leaf (and a stone to hold it) at the mouth of the waterflow so it is easier to drink or bottle the water.

The spreading of a fire was prohibited in the Raches area yesterday. The firebrigade arrived quickly. Probable cause: a burning cigarette!

With these high temperatures and wind we must be extra careful with leaving behind anything that can cause fire!!!
