Fatal thunderstorms sweep across western Greece
Two people drowned after their moored sailing boat sank in western Greece as the country was lashed with torrential rain and thunderstorms, coast guard officials said early on Monday.
The storms hit western Greece over the weekend causing flooding and disruption to transport.
Parts of the national road network to the Peloponnese peninsula were cut off to traffic because of extensive flooding, police officials said.
The country’s meteorological services say the severe weather was expected to move eastward before waning by Monday night.
