A lumbering low-pressure system over the central Mediterranean Sea has been dousing Greece in waves of torrential rainfall over recent days, a weather pattern reminiscent of one that wrought severe flooding in Spain in October.

The latest fatality, a 56-year-old man, was discovered in Halkidiki, northern Greece, on Monday, according to the Fire Brigade. On Saturday, two men lost their lives amid severe flooding on the island of Lemnos in the northern Aegean, which bore the brunt of the storm before it moved southeast, striking Rhodes island with equal ferocity.

Torrential rains and gale-force winds are causing flooding and damage across the country.
