A wildfire broke out on Sunday in the village of Kato Gerakari on the island of Zakynthos. Strong firefighting forces swiftly responded to the scene as powerful winds, reaching up to 8 Beaufort, swept through the area. 

Meanwhile, the fire that erupted on Saturday in Exo Chora, Zakynthos and devoured over 65 hectares of forest land was brought under control by Sunday morning, despite challenging conditions with winds blowing at 8-9 Beaufort, as reported by imerazante.gr. 

The Zakynthos-Kyllini ferry route has remained closed since Sunday morning due to the strong winds prevailing in the area.

By Abdulkareem Mojeed     September 30, 2023   Reading Time: 9 mins read T he appearance of sun rays in the partly cloudy sky on Monday morning in early July excited Dorathy Friday, a cocoa farmer in Ikom, Cross River State.

On that day, the surrounding air was filled with the smell of cocoa. “The heavy rainfall is affecting the cocoa,” Mrs Friday told the visiting PREMIUM TIMES reporter.
