The Italian Civil Protection agency has issued weather alerts for various regions due to risks of precipitation and hydrogeological instability. Following earlier warnings in Campania, Puglia, and Molise, the situation escalated on October 31 when orange alerts were issued for Puglia and Basilicata. A low-pressure system, identified as storm Agneta, moving from the Balkans toward the Tyrrhenian Sea, is expected to bring intense rainfall, thunderstorms, and strong winds to much of Southern Italy. In Sicily, storm Agneta has already caused damage in Palermo and Ragusa, including uprooted trees, vehicle damage, and flooding. In Puglia, several municipalities have implemented emergency measures: Lecce has closed schools, municipal cemeteries, parks, and local markets; Brindisi has ordered the closure of schools, parks, and cemeteries; and Cerignola has closed its municipal cemetery and all parks. In Barleta, authorities are monitoring main roads and underpasses for potential flooding. By November 2, severe weather warnings continued for areas including Fasano and San Ferdinando di Puglia. The orange alert in Puglia covers risks of thunderstorms and hydrogeological instability across the Tavoliere, Gargano, Salento, and Sub-Appennino Dauno regions. In Basilicata, the orange alert is tied to hydrogeological risks. Conditions have since intensified in Sardinia, where a red alert is now in effect for thunderstorms and hydrogeological risks, particularly in the Gallura region and the Flumendosa-Flumineddu basins. In Olbia Settimo Nizzi, authorities have ordered the closure of schools, public offices, and parks. Yellow alerts remain for Abruzzo, Calabria, Campania, and Sicily. A new weather system from the Iberian Peninsula is forecasted to bring renewed rain and storms to Sicily, Sardinia, and the Tyrrhenian coast starting November 5. On November 5, Sardinia faces severe conditions with widespread intense rainfall and thunderstorms. The red alert for hydrogeological risk remains for the Flumendosa-Flumineddu and Gallura areas.
