In late March and early April, severe storms caused significant flooding and damage across several Greek islands, with evidence suggesting that human-driven climate change intensified these events. Researchers noted that storms are becoming wetter, increasing flood risks. The islands of Paros, Mykonos, and Crete experienced torrential rains, leading to school closures and emergency responses. A study indicated that storms are now wetter than in the past, primarily due to climate change, urging action for mitigation and adaptation.
