Update September 6, 9:00 UTC
Greece is still experiencing extreme torrential rains, with streets flooded and large debris being carried away in the water flow. Hundreds of millimeters of rain are being reported in just 10 hours.
Estofex: A level 2 was issued across parts of Greece for exceptionally heavy rainfall and to a lesser extent for tornadoes.

Sitauce is clearly visible on the Weather Radar(displayed), Rain, Thunder, Rain Accumulation layers. Don't forget to compare multiple models with each other (ECMWF, ICON, GFS, and the local ones.)

The pink colour in the default colour scale for Rain accumulation covers a wide range from 150mm to more than 1000mm. It gives a very imprecise map. Compare with my own one:The purple colour shows more 600mm in the next 3 days at this location.

Hi @idefix37
I was thinking the same when I checked the extremes today. We'll take a look. Many thanks!
