Flash flooding in Volos and surrounding regions

Overview

On November 1, 2026, intense rainfall lasting approximately 30 minutes caused significant flash flooding in Volos, Nea Ionia, and Nea Anchialos, Greece. In Nea Anchialos, the Alonaki stream overflowed, sending mud and water into streets and yards, which reportedly submerged vehicles and flooded basements.

Following the event, local authorities in Volos and Almouros requested that residents and businesses formally declare damages. In Volos, the municipality urged affected individuals to report ruined goods or building damage to initiate compensation procedures. In Almouros, businesses were instructed to submit photographic evidence and descriptions of losses to the regional administration to facilitate state aid processes.
