Italy weather: heavy storms in the north and extreme heat in the south

Italy is experiencing volatile weather patterns characterized by extreme storms and intense heat. In the northern regions, particularly Piemonte, heavy rainfall has caused significant flooding, with areas like Borgofranco d'Ivrea recording 65mm of rain in just two hours. Strong wind gusts of up to 80 km/h have been reported, and the weather system is expected to move toward Liguria, Tuscany, and the North-East.

In the Dolomites, forecasts indicate a mix of clouds and clear spells with a high probability of thunderstorms. Meanwhile, southern regions face a different extreme: a heatwave is driving temperatures toward 40 degrees Celsius. A red alert for extreme heat has been issued for Bari and Palermo.

Additional geological and environmental activity includes weak ash emissions from Mount Etna drifting southeast, and a yellow alert for thunderstorms and hydrogeological risks in Campania.
