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.

Torrential rains flooded homes, businesses and roads in the popular Greek tourist island of Rhodes on Sunday, forcing authorities to temporarily ban the use of vehicles as Storm Bora pounded the country for a second day.

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.

A storm sweeping through Greece has claimed a third victim, state TV reported Monday, after damaging roads and buildings on the islands of Lemnos, Rhodes and other parts of the country.

Greece is preparing for additional rain and storms after the Storm Bora, which hit the country over the past couple of days, subsides, local media reported on Tuesday.

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