Three people have reportedly died as a result of the Daniel weather system which has been battering many parts of Greece for more than two days.

Two Austrian newlyweds were also believed to be missing after the holiday accommodation they were staying at was swept away on Tuesday in the Pelion region.

With the completion of the recent population census, 14 constituencies are changing seats. 

More specifically, as a result of a population increase in the respective regions, Eastern Attica gets two extra seats, while the North, West and South sectors of Athens and the first electoral district of Thessaloniki each gain one seat, by presidential decree. 

Meteorologists warn a combination of snow and sleet could create problems for drivers in Attica and Central Greece from Sunday night and going into Monday.

A 24-year-old man was remanded in custody on Wednesday on a string of arson charges after authorities connected him to 16 fires in different parts of Attica. The suspect is accused of setting fires on forest and farmland in the areas of Penteli, Anthousa and Geraka between July 14 and August 1.

A relatively mild summer this year resulted in 25 percent fewer wildfires than in 2013, according to new fire service figures seen by Kathimerini.

A total of 3,846 fires broke out on agricultural and forest land between January 1 and July 31 of this year compared to 5,066 in the same period last year, official figures show.
