The bad weather in Milan continues to worry. In the city and in the province the water level has dropped compared to yesterday, and in many areas the situation has improved, but in the Lombardy capital the Lambro is still worrying, just below emergency levels. In the city, the Local Police specified, Via Feltre was reopened around 7 am, but in the Ponte Lambro district the river is still just below the edges. The weather should create a window of time for the water to retreat further, but a worsening is feared in the evening (WEATHER FORECAST).
Orange alert in Lombardy
Yesterday, May 15, was a day of heavy disruption in Milan and in much of Lombardy due to flooding caused by incessant rain that fell for 24 hours.
