Rare ‘medicane’ weather phenomenon to batter Greek islands

A tropical cyclone known as a medicane is forecast to hit Greece this weekend and could bring torrential rain and heavy winds. Meteorologists have warned that the rare weather phenomenon – which combines the words Mediterranean and hurricane – could form on Friday in the Ionian Sea south west of the Greek mainland. 

Teh medicane, dubbed Zorbas, is caused by a deep area of low pressure developing in the Mediterranean Sea and is expected to affect parts of Greece and Western Turkey.
