Greece is reeling from extreme weather conditions that have claimed one life and transformed landscapes across the country. Emergency services recovered a man's body after torrential rains caused devastating floods near Athens, while several other regions faced similar deluge conditions. The severe weather system has triggered warnings throughout the country as rivers overflowed and infrastructure struggled to cope with the unprecedented rainfall.

In a striking display of nature's dramatic forces, Crete has been blanketed by an orange haze as Saharan dust descended on the island, creating apocalyptic scenes and air quality concerns. Meteorologists warn that this rare combination of extreme weather events may continue for several days, with authorities urging residents to exercise caution. The unusual dust phenomenon has resulted in spectacular yet troubling imagery as Crete's iconic beaches and cities became enveloped in the otherworldly orange fog, turning the Mediterranean island into a scene reminiscent of Mars rather than Earth.
