Europe weather shift brings heavy rain and storm alerts to Italy and France
A significant shift in weather patterns is affecting Southern Europe, as an Atlantic perturbation weakens the prevailing high-pressure systems.
In Italy, heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to impact the Northwest, specifically Liguria, Piedmont, and Tuscany, with some areas facing risks of flooding and landslides. In Liguria, orange alerts have been issued for intense storms, with localized rainfall peaks recorded in areas like Monterosso al Mare. The instability is predicted to spread across the country throughout the week, accompanied by a drop in temperatures.
In France, the Southeast is facing severe weather risks. A depression moving from the Bay of Biscay toward the Gulf of Lion is expected to bring heavy rains and thunderstorms to regions including Languedoc and Provence. Forecasters warn of potential flooding, with rainfall accumulations potentially reaching 200 to 300 mm in the Cévennes and parts of Provence.
