Unwetter in Italien – Nach Mittel- und Osteuropa trifft der Regen auch Italien – Meteo – SRF

Heavy rainfall in Italy is causing flooding in a short amount of time.
After the storm system “Boris” caused severe weather in Central and Eastern Europe, its remnants have moved to Italy in recent days, bringing heavy rainfall. The regions of Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, and Marche are particularly affected. Just a year and a half ago, Emilia-Romagna was also hit by severe downpours.
In Emilia-Romagna, over 300 mm of rain was measured in some areas within 48 hours. In Rimini on the Adriatic coast, approximately 200 mm of rain fell in 48 hours, more than double the amount of rain that normally falls in the entire month of September. In Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna, around 100 mm was recorded, which is about one and a half times the monthly average.
The low pressure swirled over the still very warm Adriatic Sea. The warm seawater introduces a lot of moisture into the air. Rainfall is expected to decrease by Friday.
