Storm Hits Larissa Coast: Sea Floods Streets and Fields

A severe storm battered multiple regions of Greece on Sunday, February 1, 2026, bringing intense thunderstorms, hail, and winds up to 9 Beaufort. Heavy rainfall affected Attica from early morning, while storms swept across the Peloponnese, Thessaly, and Macedonia. According to the updated emergency weather bulletin by the National Observatory of Athens (EMY), heavy rain, hail, and gale-force winds will continue until Sunday evening. Along Larissa’s coastline, relentless rain since Saturday midnight and extremely strong winds caused seawater to surge onto land—literally flooding streets and farmland. Footage from Agiokampos and Velika in Larissa is striking. Roads are submerged, severely hampering vehicle traffic. The Thessaly Region has activated its ‘red alert’ emergency protocol, with all relevant services on high standby.
