Thunderstorms and heavy rain were reported in parts of western Greece since early Friday, including the Ionian Islands, according to ANA.
The Meteo weather service of the Athens National Observatory announced that the weather front is going to move slowly eastward and affect almost all of Greece, with the exception of the island of Crete.
Schools on the Ionian islands of Ithaca and Cephalonia were closed on Friday due to a heavy storm that hit the islands early in the morning.
The rain that started falling late on Thursday and is still falling has also brought problems in the region of Ioannina.
Problems were also reported in other parts of Ioannina, such as landslides, rockfalls and flooded rivers and streams, carrying mud and debris.
