Rare Mediterranean Tropical Storm Could Develop South of Crete Weather models are indicating the possible development of a “medicane” south of the Greek island of Crete over the next two days. A medicane is a relatively rare Mediterranean storm that can develop characteristics similar to a tropical cyclone. Current projections keep most of the system over the Mediterranean as it moves east and gradually weakens. Remnants of the system could potentially reach Israel over the weekend or early next week. The forecast remains uncertain and could change as the system develops.
