Showers and storms broke out early on Sunday evening in several
regions across Greece. A strong hailstorm hit the central Greek cities
of Megara and Elefsian, while thunderbolts sparked fires in the areas
of Alepohori and Karaouli. The downpour that followed put out the fires.

Similar conditions prevailed in the towns of Gythio and Zaharo in
southern Greece. The Fire Service received dozens of calls to have
flood waters pumped out.

Serious problems were also caused in the northern Greek towns of
Halkidiki and Kavala, while landslide and flood waters suspended
traffic on Egnatia Odos near the town of Asprovalta for two and a half
hours.

The hailstorm also caused serious damage to crops in Thessaly "
