Storm Erminio lashes much of Greece as Saharan dust blankets Crete South-east Italy also affected by heavy rain, and snow at higher altitudes, while deadly flooding hits Afghanistan

Heavy rain, thunderstorms and occasional bursts of hail affected much of Greece, with the most severe conditions across south-eastern parts of the mainland and the Aegean Sea www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ap... #ClimateEmergency

Just as impressive, and likely more of a problem, is how #StormErminio in the Med brought with it massive dust storm, thunderstorms, and hail.
