From this morning at 9am, the orange alert for thunderstorms was triggered in the center and east of Liguria (zones B, C, D, E), while the west remains on yellow alert.
The storms were concentrated on the Ligurian Sea, moving towards the east, in particular between Framura and Bonassola. The Region’s Civil Protection has alerted the mayors of the East to possible hydrological criticalities, due to the saturated soil which could worsen the situation.
