Severe bad weather has battered Crete, forcing authorities to close several roads in the Minoa Pediad municipality. The road closures were necessitated by the overflow of a local stream, which swelled to dangerous levels due to heavy rainfall accompanying the storm system.
Residents and travelers in the affected area are advised to avoid non-essential travel and to monitor local authority updates before using roads in the municipality. Emergency services remain on alert as the severe weather conditions are expected to persist.
