Livestock breeders in the Regional Units of Western Greece (Achaia, Ilia and Aitoloakarnania) express concern over the daily raids of carnivorous animals on livestock.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Friday attended an event for the inauguration of a bypass around the town of Amfilochia, commenting that this will cut journey times for those travelling to Vonitsa, Preveza, Palero and the island of Lefkada by at least 25 minutes. The bypass is on the Aktio-Amvrakia road that connects these areas with the Ionian highway.
Heavy rains and thunderstorms have hit the country from the early hours of the morning.
The bad weather first hit western Greece, where, according to meteo.gr, rain and thunderstorms occur locally, while the island of Corfu has been hit by severe weather too.
In the early afternoon Athesn was hit with golf ball sized hail, as the storm moved eastward.
Heavy rain also affected Mesolongi and Ilia.
