The downpour that hit Bari in the afternoon caused a series of disruptions to traffic: 25.9 mm of rain fell in one hour. The Local Police were forced to close the railway underpass on Via Bruno Buozzi and the underpass La Rotella, in the industrial area. As for the underpass Duca degli Abruzzi, after a brief closure to traffic, it was reopened, as was the underpass of Via Quintino Sella, which remained open to road traffic. A short stretch of Corso Alcide De Gasperi, from the intersection with Viale Einaudi to the intersection with Via Morea, will remain closed to vehicle traffic in the coming hours. The strong wind that accompanied the rain reportedly caused the collapse of plaster and some ceiling panels in two sections of the hospital, including an office in the area housing the general management.

The hydrogeological alert has been reduced from orange to yellow for the valleys of Gran Paradiso in Aosta, matching the level of the rest of the regional territory. This data emerges from the update of the critical bulletin released this evening by the Functional Center of the Aosta Valley Region. “While there is an improving scenario, ordinary critical levels remain in the Lower Valley due to continued rainfall and in the rest of the region due to high soil saturation.” Additionally, in terms of the level of the Dora Baltea, “the scenario is improving, and this evening the level will drop below the attention threshold” even in the Lower Valley. Since yesterday afternoon, “precipitation values of 138 millimeters have been recorded at Champorcher Petit Mont Blanc and 118 mm at Valsavarenche Pont, 112 mm at Fénis Clavalité, and 53 mm at Saint Christophe. Local erosions and overflows have occurred on the streams of Valsavarenche and Cogne. The levels of the side streams have all returned below the attention threshold, while on the Dora Baltea levels are decreasing but remain above the first alert level in the sections of Champdepraz and Hone. It is worth noting that along the course of the Dora Baltea, flooding led to the closure of a stretch of the cycle path in the municipality of Saint-Marcel until safety conditions are restored.

Regarding the damage caused by the bad weather and to prevent it, “Milan is here to do its part but cannot be left alone.” This is the appeal of the councilor for Security of the Municipality, Marco Granelli, who recapped the damage caused by the rains in the city where the Seveso overflowed, describing it as a “difficult day,” with “120 mm of rain falling between 6 AM and 2 PM, peaking around 11 AM with 35mm/h.” According to Granelli, there are three things to “do immediately.” “The Seveso basin in Milan is very useful, but by itself, it is not enough – he said -: we need to complete the project, at least the basin of Senago and that of Lentate sul Seveso. With Lombardia Region and Aipo, we are trying to go as fast as possible, but maximum commitment and perseverance are needed; we have to act faster together.” The Lambro “needs volume management interventions to avoid what happened – he continued -, we need to speed up everything.” Among the interventions is the one to “construct one or two basins on the Lambro in the stretch between Monza and southern Milan. For the basins, we must design, find the funds, and realize them, but if we never start, we will never arrive: the Seveso basin in Milan demonstrates that if there is a will, it can be done.” Moreover, “we need to continue refining the interventions on underpasses and the sewage and drainage network; the problem is not cleaning but ensuring that sewers, all those in Milan and all those north of Milan in the metropolitan city of Milan, in the provinces of Monza and Brianza, Como, Varese, and Lecco, have basins located before treatment plants to prevent when it rains too much, the sewage systems discharge into the rivers, swelling them.” “There is a plan in the Lombardia region with water managers: in my opinion, it is inadequate, underestimated, slow, 20 years, and therefore ineffective – he concludes -. I ask the Lombardia region to sit down immediately at the table with all the managers and the large municipalities and provinces and redo this plan; otherwise, we will not get out of it.”

One person is missing and sixty-six are isolated: the area most affected by the bad weather in Piedmont has been Turin, and marginally also Cuneo. This is reported by the Civil Protection of the Region, which is open to monitor the situation. While the ARPA bulletin predicts an improvement for tomorrow, there are 41 open municipal operational centers in the province of Turin, and 7 in Cuneo. The volunteers active in the Turin area are 363. “The volunteers have worked since last night for the first urgent interventions and then throughout the day with teams of technicians and civil protection to tackle the most critical and emergency situations. As a Region, from the operational room of the regional civil protection, we have monitored the situation and followed with concern the search for the missing person in the Turin area,” say the president of the Region, Alberto Cirio, and the councilor for civil protection, Marco Gabusi. The Civil Protection reports that the road network “remains highly compromised”. Of the sixteen provincial roads closed this morning in the metropolitan area of Turin, 10 remain closed: Roure, San Germano Chisone, Bussoleno, Mattie, Giaglione, Cavour, Meana di Susa, Pancalieri, Coazze, and Balme. The total number of isolated persons remains 66, of which 24 in Mattie due to the collapse of two bridges, 40 in Roure due to road closures, and two in Mezzenile. “They are all being assisted by their municipalities,” assures the operational room. “Of the evacuees, the nine from Groscavallo have all found accommodation independently, therefore only one remains in Mezzenile. The situation remains concerning the person missing in Valle Orco,” concludes the Civil Protection.

A pause from heavy rains is expected this weekend. While tomorrow, according to the civil protection bulletin, the alert remains in some regions of the North – Valle D’Aosta, Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia – and the South – areas of Puglia and Campania – on Saturday, according to forecasts, the sun should shine almost everywhere, although for a short time. From Sunday, however, bad weather will return, bringing with it a preview of (almost) autumn in this tail end of summer marked by heavy downpours.

“The retention basins and the overflow channel of the North/West have significantly reduced the impact” of bad weather “avoiding the occurrence of emergency situations,” stated Gianluca Comazzi, the councilor of the Lombardy Region for Territory and Green Systems, highlighting that the Region is monitoring “carefully and continuously” the situation. “For example – explains the councilor – on the Trobbie system, the retention area at Gessate and that at Inzago have been activated, for which the Lombardy Region has invested about 20 million euros, including the overflow channel and the basin at Bresso on the Seveso and the retention area at San Vittore Olona on the Olona, which holds 1,431,000 cubic meters for a total investment of 18 million euros.” These meteorological phenomena “are becoming increasingly frequent and intense – Comazzi adds – requiring a different vision of the territory and an acceleration in the implementation of infrastructure that mitigate the impact of hydrogeological risk.” For this reason, “the Lombardy Region has invested over 1 billion euros in the past five years to combat hydrogeological instability. We have also decided, during the last discussion table, to allocate 1.5 million euros to eliminate two obstruction structures on the Lambro River, located downstream of the city, which are no longer used and contribute to raising the river level, in order to protect the citizens of the Municipality of Milan – he concludes – We can no longer allow that some committee, through appeals, tries to prevent the realization of important works for safety and territory protection.”

The regional road 47 to Cogne, closed this morning due to bad weather, has been temporarily reopened for vehicle transit from 18:00 to 20:00 today, with a detour at kilometer 9.4, on the variant created after the flood of June 29 and 30 last year. Thus, tourists who were stranded can come down, as well as those who need to. During the night, the road will remain closed for precautionary reasons. Tomorrow morning, from 07:00 to 09:00, “pending a technical verification, traffic will again be allowed.” This is announced by the regional departments of Civil Protection and Fire Brigade, and Infrastructure and Roads. The passage of heavy vehicles and public transport service remains temporarily suspended.

The overflow of the Seveso River in Milan ended at 16:30, caused by the heavy rains that fell overnight and into the afternoon in the city. “Now the streets are being cleaned and gradually reopened – explained Security Councilor Marco Granelli on social media – The basin held the water for over three hours; without the basin, we would have had an overflow lasting more than 5 hours, while it lasted only two.” In Ponte Lambro, another neighborhood of the city affected by flooding, “the streets are now entirely passable, and we are emptying the garages – he concluded -. There is light because, as a first step, we protected the power station.”

A husband and wife, both disabled, were trapped in their home on Via Buzzoni Nigra in Peschiera Borromeo, in the Milan area, which was flooded after the heavy storm this morning, but they were rescued by the firefighters. The woman, 85, is visually impaired, while her husband, 90, requires assistance from an oxygen bottle. Their son, realizing that his parents were trapped, called emergency services. Firefighters from Peschiera soon arrived and found a way to free the two elderly people, transporting them to a safe area. The two are safe and did not even require medical care. The firefighters concluded their intervention by cleaning up the basement.

A strong thunderstorm hit Rovigo in the early afternoon, causing flooding in various areas and falling trees. This was reported by the municipal administration. In the province, an electrical fault put the water purification plant of Boara Polesine out of action, blocking supply in the capital and in the municipalities of Costa di Rovigo, Villamarzana, Arquà Polesine, Pontecchio Polesine, Ceregnano, Villadose, and San Martino di Venezze. Currently, the timing for restoring the service is unknown. Other damages occurred at the Interport, with flooding of the firefighting pump room, at the Ceod of Sant’Apollinare, where firefighters are assisting with the transportation of the residents. Other flooding with fallen branches and trees occurred on municipal roads.

Mountain agriculture in Turin is assessing the damage from the wave of bad weather that hit the valleys overnight and into this morning. “Another downpour, the umpteenth in this truly abnormal meteorological year of 2024 – comments the president of Coldiretti Turin, Bruno Mecca Cici – As farmers, we have witnessed, for three months, the almost daily ritual of storms and hail with exceptional amounts of rain. Then, high temperatures and drought. All agricultural productions are feeling this trend that we can define as tropical, with drops in yield in wheat, corn, fodder, honey, and fruit. But at this moment, our thoughts go to the family of the worker missing with his tractor swept away in the Orco flood between Feletto and Rivarolo while cleaning the woods.” According to Coldiretti, at Pian della Mussa, in the high valley of Ala, in the municipality of Balme, the Stura has changed its course and eroded the ground in many areas, splitting it in two and isolating a herd of cows grazing that the owners have not yet been able to reach. In the Lanzo valleys, between Cantoira and Groscavallo, pastures and meadows suitable for mowing have been eroded and covered by debris. In Val Cenischia, in Novalesa, the valley bottom meadows have been covered with a thick layer of mud and stones, destroying the hay crops for farming. “We again point out the lack of a Plan for small reservoirs capable of retaining excess water for storage and use in drought periods. The Region has not yet provided us with answers,” concludes Mecca Cici.

The weather alert in the city of Milan continues after heavy rains that began last night and continued until this afternoon, causing the overflow of the Seveso. The Functional Center for Monitoring Natural Risks of the Lombardy Region has issued an orange alert warning, indicating a moderate risk for hydrogeological and hydraulic issues until 9 AM tomorrow morning, with thunderstorms expected until midnight today. The municipal operational center of Civil Protection has been active since yesterday and is coordinating interventions in the city in the areas affected by the heavy rain from the early hours of the morning and continues to monitor the hydrometric levels of the Seveso and Lambro rivers. During the weather alert, the municipality invites citizens not to linger in the flood risk areas of the two rivers and in proximity to underpasses. Additionally, it is reminded not to linger under and near trees and near scaffolding at construction sites, outdoor areas, and tents. It is important to secure objects and pots on balconies and all products that could be shifted by the bad weather.
