Around 80 hectares of land on the plains of Lamia were flooded yesterday when the Spercheios River broke its banks. Yesterday morning, the level of the river had far exceeded its safety level of 2 meters, reaching 2.8 meters before falling back to 2.5 meters by afternoon. Meanwhile, the level of the Evros River dropped but the Acheloos rose in western Greece, submerging large tracts of cultivated land.
