Lombardy is grappling with severe weather conditions, prompting authorities to issue a red alert across the region.

Heavy rainfall has led to the overflowing of the Lambro River in Milan, causing significant disruptions.

The Seveso River is also at risk, with emergency measures in place to manage its rising levels.

In response to the adverse weather, schools in cities like Bergamo, Lecco, and parts of Brescia have been closed to ensure public safety.

The decision aims to keep roads clear for emergency services.

Despite the challenges, public transport in Milan continues to operate, albeit with some disruptions.

The weather is expected to improve by the weekend as the storm system moves eastward.
