Heavy rains in northern and central Greece have flooded cities and overflowed banks. Several videos have been circulating on social media showing cars being pushed by the force of water on roads in the city of Volos. One person died when the wall collapsed.
It was a scene similar to that caused by another storm with similar characteristics over the weekend in Spain, particularly in the community of Madrid. In Toledo, three people died and three are still missing due to heavy accidents caused by the rain and consequent difficulties in helping people.
But now that the Spanish are trying to clean their muddy streets and the Greeks are trying to take shelter from the heavy rain, Western Europe is facing another situation: in the territory between France and the United Kingdom, a heat wave is being recorded. Temperatures will rise to 30°C to 40°C throughout the week. People flocked to the gardens to cool off.
The images show conflicting scenes in countries close to each other. The heat wave crossing Western Europe is flanked by two atmospheric depressions, independent of each other, but causing the same disturbance in Spain and Greece.
