Why It Matters
A meteorological disturbance crosses Italy bringing widespread rainfall, strong winds and rough seas.
The bad weather persists in Italy until Saturday, with heavy rainfall between Liguria and upper Tuscany and gale-force winds with gusts of between 70 and 90 km/h along the Tyrrhenian coasts and on the Apennine ridges. This is what Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist at iLMeteo.it, says. "The wave motion will undergo a rapid surge on all the western basins - he underlines - with rough or locally very rough sea conditions offshore. Possible storm surges will affect the western coasts of Sardinia, Liguria and the middle-lower Tyrrhenian Sea".
The disturbance will come into full force from today with rainfall contributions equal to or greater than 100 mm/24h in eastern Liguria, upper Tuscany, central-eastern Lombardy, Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The sirocco winds will keep the freezing point high, limiting snowfall in the Alps to altitudes above 2200-2400 metres. Tomorrow the front will gradually move towards the south-east. On Saturday the last showers will affect Puglia, Basilicata and Tyrrhenian Calabria.
