Weather alert in 6 regions. The approach of a trough over central Europe, with the consequent formation of a low-pressure system over Italy, will lead to a strong intensification of winds mainly from the west across much of the country. The simultaneous arrival of cold air will cause scattered phenomena across the territory, more intense along the southern Tyrrhenian sectors, and a significant drop in temperatures. Based on the available forecasts, the Department of Civil Protection, in agreement with the involved regions – which are responsible for activating civil protection systems in the affected territories – has issued a warning of adverse weather conditions. The weather phenomena, impacting various areas of the country, could cause hydrogeological and hydraulic issues, which are reported in a national summary in the national bulletin of criticality and alert available on the Department’s website.
