Allerta Vento: Strong Winds and Heavy Rain Expected in Italy
Italy is bracing for strong winds and heavy rainfall as a new cyclone sweeps across the southern regions. The national weather service, Allerta Meteo, has issued warnings, with an orange alert for particularly strong winds already in effect for Milan.
What to Expect
The cold front descending from Northern Europe will bring significant instability. Expect widespread rain and thunderstorms, particularly impacting the Tyrrhenian areas of central and northern Calabria. Southern and eastern regions of Italy, including Puglia, Campania, Basilicata, and parts of Sicily, will also experience heavy rainfall. Snow is predicted above 900-1000 meters, potentially lowering to 500-600 meters in some areas.
Temperatures will drop significantly across the entire peninsula. Strong to very strong winds are anticipated across central and southern Italy, with the strongest gusts hitting the Alps and Apennines. The sea will be rough, especially in the Sardinia and Tyrrhenian regions. The national protection agency has outlined a yellow alert for several regions, including Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria, and parts of Sicily.
Safety Precautions
With the allerta vento in effect, it’s crucial to take precautions. Stay informed about weather updates via official sources like the Dipartimento della Protezione Civile website (http://www.protezionecivile.gov.it/).
