The Veneto has not yet overcome the long phase of bad weather, even if the river levels, with the outflow of floods towards the valley, and no new critical situations or bank failures have been recorded. In the last few hours, the councilor for civil protection, Gianpaolo Bottacin, announced, however, instability has increased again, with showers and thunderstorms widespread across the regional territory. Locally there were highly intense phenomena, with millimeters of rain in an hour, especially in the pre-Alpine and piedmont areas. Elsewhere the rainfall quantities were between 10-15 mm, in the Padua and Venetian areas. The hydrometric levels of the waterways are generally permitted: the Bacchiglione, the river that has caused the most concern in recent days, has now fallen below the first warning threshold in Vicenza; the levels of the Brenta and Adige also decreased. The flood peak of the Po is passing through the Delta area with a hydrometric level above the second guard level in the Ariano section while in Cavanella, Polesella and Pontelagoscuro they remain above the first stable threshold, or slightly permitted.
