The first severe weather front of the autumn season is passing through Greece over the weekend, accompanied by a heavy rainfall, lightning storms and receding temperatures.
A lightning strike in the east Athens district of Haidari in the early morning hours of Saturday lit up two palm trees and caused damage to a nearby building and parked cars.
The heaviest rains from the cold front, dubbed “Eva”, are forecast for Sunday morning, mostly in western, central and southern Greece.
