The Mediterranean Sea has shown its capacity to generate significant cyclones, with the recent cyclone 'Jolina' in March 2026 causing considerable damage in North Africa.
Previous storms, such as Ianos in 2020 and Daniel in 2023, have also inflicted severe harm in Greece, with Daniel leading to a humanitarian crisis.
Experts warn that climate change is expected to increase both the frequency and intensity of these storms, posing a growing threat to the region.
