Weather Alert: 48-Hour Storm Hits Greece with Thunderstorms, Snow, and Tornadoes

Greece remains under a series of successive storm waves, with a new deep low-pressure system set to strike for 48 hours starting Saturday, 31 January 2026. The storm will bring intense thunderstorms, hail, tornadoes, lightning, and even snow in unexpected lowland areas. Meteorologist Klearchos Marousakis has issued a high-alert warning via social media, stressing that the severe weather — affecting mainland Greece, the eastern Aegean islands, Macedonia, Thrace, Chalkidiki, and northeastern Evia — will be both exceptionally intense and prolonged. Strong to gale-force winds, dangerous sea swells, flash flooding, and widespread snowfall beyond mountainous zones are expected. Detailed forecast maps highlight ‘red zones’ most at risk from Saturday evening through Monday afternoon.
