A yellow weather alert has been issued for the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, warning of heavy rainfall, hydraulic risks, and potential storm surges. The alert will be in effect from 9 a.m. on Wednesday, October 2, until 12 p.m. on Thursday, October 3, as the region braces for the passage of a powerful Atlantic weather front.
The Civil Protection Agency of Friuli Venezia Giulia issued the warning based on forecasts predicting intense precipitation, especially in the eastern parts of the region, while western areas will remain largely unaffected. The weather front, expected to affect large parts of Europe, will trigger widespread downpours and high winds, particularly in the area bordering Slovenia.
According to meteorologists, the front will give way to the development of a depression that could bring easterly winds at low altitudes, compounding the effects of already challenging weather conditions.
Detailed Forecast: Storms, Winds, and High Seas
Wednesday, October 2 is set to bring overcast skies across the region, with heavy rainfall expected in the western areas and the Alps. The eastern portion, particularly the areas close to the Slovenian border, could experience thunderstorms. The storms, which may include strong winds and lightning, have the potential to dump locally intense amounts of rain. Coastal areas are expected to see moderate to strong southwesterly winds, with a shift to Bora winds by evening. Coastal residents are warned of the possibility of storm surges and high tides.
Thursday, October 3 will see continued cloud cover with moderate to heavy rainfall, and the snow line is predicted to drop to elevations above 1,800 meters. Winds will remain a significant factor, with the Bora wind strengthening throughout the day, particularly along the coast where gusts could reach severe levels by evening.
Authorities have advised residents in affected areas to prepare for possible flooding and strong winds, with special attention given to coastal zones where high seas could cause hazardous conditions.
