Several Greek islands, including popular tourist destinations Paros and Mykonos, faced school closures on Tuesday following a battering of torrential rain, flooding, and hailstorms. The extreme weather, sweeping across the Aegean Sea, left authorities scrambling to address the aftermath.
Paros, renowned for its summer tourism, was particularly hard hit. Torrential rain late Monday transformed streets into muddy rivers, stranding numerous vehicles. Emergency services worked tirelessly to clear the inundated roads and assist those affected. Police confirmed 13 people trapped by the storm were safely escorted home by firefighters. Despite the dramatic scenes, no injuries or missing persons were reported.
