Severe Weather Disrupts Liguria

Published: 2024-10-16

Liguria is grappling with severe weather conditions, leading to widespread disruptions.

Torrential rains have caused flooding, landslides, and the overflow of rivers and streams, particularly affecting the Savonese region.

The Genoa-Ventimiglia railway line and the A10 highway faced temporary closures due to flooding but have since reopened.

Schools across Genoa, La Spezia, and Savona have been closed as authorities brace for further adverse weather, with an orange alert issued for potential heavy rainfall.

Flights have been diverted, and public transport is experiencing delays.

Local officials urge residents to exercise caution and avoid non-essential travel as the region prepares for more intense weather in the coming days.
