A powerful storm characterized by wind gusts of approximately 120 km/h and downbursts struck northern Italy, causing significant damage at the Luigi Ridolfi Airport in Forlì, Emilia-Romagna.

At the airport, at least four light aircraft were affected; one was blown off course during landing, while others were tossed or overturned on the tarmac.
