The fire service has received at least 10 calls for pumping water mainly in basements

The heavy rain that started shortly after 1 pm caused problems on many roads of Kalamata.

Although the rainfall did not last long, it was enough to flood central streets of the city, such as Frantzi Street, Akrita Street, Faron etc. according to tharrosnews.gr.

According to information so far, the fire service has received at least 10 calls for pumping water, mainly underground, both in the center of the city and in its surroundings, but without having to intervene in all cases.

It should also be noted that during the rain the traffic on the streets was increased with the queues of cars being long.

Bad weather ‘Bogdan’ has already arrived in the country, with the Met Office warning of heavy rains, thunderstorms and hail, among others.

It is recalled that the schools in Corfu remained closed today as a precaution, while since yesterday a 112 message has been sent to the Ionian islands (except Zakynthos) in Epirus and Aitoloakarnania.

Also impressive was the hydro turbine that formed outside the port in Argostoli.
