Severe weather has struck parts of southeast Europe and South Asia, leaving at least four people dead and prompting widespread evacuations. In Turkey, powerful thunderstorms battered the region this week, culminating in a tornado that tore through Antalya on Tuesday, killing four construction workers. The storm system, fueled by a low-pressure area, continues to bring heavy rain and strong winds across the region.
Authorities in both Greece and Turkey have issued severe rainfall and flood warnings, as an additional 100 to 150 millimeters of rain is expected in central Greece and western Turkey, with the possibility of locally higher amounts.
Meanwhile, in India, Cyclone Arnab made landfall in the states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, bringing wind gusts exceeding 85 miles per hour and rainfall surpassing 200 millimeters in some areas. Over 180,000 people have been evacuated as the storm disrupts energy and transport networks. While the cyclone is expected to weaken as it moves northward, it will continue to bring heavy rain to parts of northern and central India in the coming days.
