Storm Daniel is the country’s most intense rainstorm since records began in 1930.
The bodies of an 88-year-old woman and two men, aged 58 and 65, were found near the city of Karditsa.
Three other people are still missing, according to authorities. Storm Daniel pummelled Greece for three days from Tuesday at the end of the hottest summer ever recorded, leaving a fresh trail of ruin after deadly wildfires. The bodies of an 88-year-old woman and two men, aged 58 and 65, were found near the city of Karditsa, one of the worst-hit areas. Flood-stricken residents were being airlifted or transferred in lifeboats.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was expected to visit the main operation centre in Thessaly this evening and announce a series of relief measures for those affected by the storm.
