An operation has begun to remove the hundreds and thousands of dead fish from Lake Karla and the Pagasetic Gulf in Volos, central Greece.

The weather will remain unstable today in most parts of the country. Rain and thunderstorms, possibly temporarily strong in some areas, are expected in central, eastern Macedonia, and Thrace in the early morning hours. Improvement is anticipated across the country by evening.

Local residents and tourists in the city of Volos and Mount Pelion were posting photos and videos of the destruction caused by the severe thunderstorm sweeping central Greece since Monday night. 

One video filmed in the village of Agios Ioannis, in the eastern coast of Mount Pelio, showed a car being swept into the sea. 

One man was found dead and hundreds of houses and roads were flooded in the port city of Volos, in central Greece, on Tuesday morning, following 10 hours of thunderstorms in the wider region which are expected to persist for another 24 hours.
