Severe Weather and High Temperatures Impact Southern and Central Italy
What happened
Severe weather warnings were issued for parts of Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, and Liguria due to storms and flood risk. Torrential rainfall in Lucca, northern Tuscany, caused roads and homes to flood. An incoming Atlantic trough is expected to bring persistent rain lasting up to 18 hours. The weather system is projected to move towards Sardinia, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Umbria, Lazio, and Campania from Friday into Saturday.

Why it matters
The severe weather and strong Sirocco winds could disrupt transport and infrastructure across the affected Tyrrhenian coast. High temperatures are expected in the south, including Sardinia, Sicily, and Calabria, which may stress regional agricultural output.
