"Greece's Deadly Weather Whiplash: Wildfires to Flash Floods"

Greece is experiencing torrential rains and flash floods, causing widespread damage and at least one death. The country's prime minister has described the weather as a "totally extreme weather phenomenon" and urged the public to follow instructions from authorities. The storm, named Daniel, is moving slowly across Greece and is expected to bring heavy rainfall and flooding to the eastern Mediterranean over the next 24 to 48 hours. Red warnings for heavy rain and thunderstorms have been issued, and the storm may develop characteristics similar to a tropical storm as it enters the Mediterranean Sea. This extreme weather comes after Greece has been battling wildfires, and scientists warn that such events will become more common and severe due to climate change.
