Northern Italy is bracing for severe weather as an Atlantic trough is expected to sweep across the region in the coming hours, bringing with it a storm front that could trigger heavy thunderstorms and intense rainfall. The system is anticipated to be accompanied by a moist southerly airflow, adding to the potential for significant weather disruption.
According to meteorologists, the adverse weather will begin affecting northern Italy by tomorrow afternoon, September 5th, and is expected to continue through the early hours of Friday, September 6th. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are forecast, with the heaviest rainfall likely to occur in localized areas. The Civil Protection Agency has issued a yellow weather alert for the entire region, in effect from 12 PM on Thursday through 6 AM on Friday.
Authorities warn that the storms could be particularly intense over the plains and coastal areas, raising concerns about flash flooding and potential damage to infrastructure. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions during the period of heightened risk. The alert follows a series of late summer weather events that have increasingly underscored the challenges posed by Italy’s changing climate.
