A perturbed area of Atlantic origin is in fact reaching our country, causing a progressive significant deterioration in the north and part of the center, starting from the north-western regions, with widespread phenomena, mainly storms, capable of giving rise to storms, which may also be associated with violent gusts of wind. On the basis of the available forecasts, the Department of Civil Protection, in agreement with the regions involved, which are responsible for activating the civil protection systems in the territories concerned, has issued a warning of adverse weather conditions. The weather phenomena, impacting on the different areas of the country, could determine hydrogeological and hydraulic criticalities which are reported, in a national summary, in the national criticality and alert bulletin which can be consulted on the Department’s website (www.protezionecivile.gov.it).
The notice foresees widespread rainfall on Piedmont and Lombardy from the afternoon-evening today. Moreover, from the early hours of tomorrow, widespread rainfall is expected, mainly downpour or thunderstorm, over Liguria, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, gradually extending to the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The phenomena will be accompanied by strong showers, frequent electrical activity, hailstorms and strong gusts of wind. On the basis of the expected phenomena, an orange alert in Lombardy and Veneto, a yellow alert on most of the central-northern regions was assessed for tomorrow.
The meteorological and critical situation forecast for Italy is updated daily on the basis of new forecasts and the evolution of phenomena, and is available on the website of the Department of Civil Protection (www.protezionecivile.gov.it), together with the general rules of behavior to be taken in case of bad weather. The information on the regional alert levels, on the specific criticalities that could affect the individual territories and on the prevention actions adopted are managed by the territorial civil protection structures, in contact with which the Department will monitor the evolution of the situation.
