Authorities in Greece and Turkey have issued warnings for severe rain and flooding, with another 100–150mm of rainfall forecast this week for central Greece and western Turkey. Some areas could receive higher totals.
A low-pressure system has fuelled powerful thunderstorms across the region, with heavy rain and strong winds expected to persist in parts of south-eastern Europe and Turkey over the next few days. A tornado during an intense storm in Antalya, on Turkey’s south-western coast, killed four construction workers on Tuesday.
In India, Cyclone Arnab brought strong winds and heavy rain to Odisha and Andhra Pradesh as it made landfall. Gusts exceeded 85mph (140km/h), and some areas recorded more than 200mm of rain. More than 180,000 people were evacuated, while energy and transport infrastructure suffered widespread disruption.
The cyclone is expected to weaken as it moves north over the coming days, but will continue to bring heavy rainfall to parts of northern and central India.
