At least one person has died and another is unaccounted for due to the rainfall that has accompanied the storm ‘Diómedes’ in the form of snow in the last days in Greece.
The emergency services have located this Wednesday the lifeless body of a man in a river south of the city of Serres, located in the north of the country, although they have not yet found a woman who, allegedly, was traveling with him , according to the Greek radio television ERT1.
Much of the southern European country has been shaken in recent days by the storm ‘Diómedes’, which is leaving in its wake floods and power outages, and it’s causing ferry trip cancellations.
In the north of the country there have been heavy snowfalls that have even caused the closure of schools. In addition, the capital has seen sleet, a rare phenomenon in Athens. The authorities have pointed out that these weather conditions are likely to continue until Thursday, when the skies are expected to clear leaving room for sunny days, although with temperatures below zero.
