There is a state of alert in much of the regional territory
(SAY) Venice, 16 May – The Civil Protection of the Veneto has issued an update notice of hydrogeological and hydraulic criticality, valid from 12pm today to 2pm tomorrow, which increases the alert status up to the largely alarm level of the regional territory. The weather forecast indicates a new unstable-disturbed phase for the afternoon with widespread precipitation, mainly showers and thunderstorms moving from the south-west towards the north-east; probable locally intense phenomena between the plains and the Prealps (strong showers, local hailstorms and strong gusts of wind) with even abundant quantities of precipitation during the most organized and insistent convective systems. General thinning and attenuation of the phenomena in the late evening.
Due to the hydraulic criticality, a state of alarm (red) has been decreed in the Alto Brenta-acchiglione-Alpone and Basso Brenta-Bacchiglione basins, and a state of pre-alarm (orange) in the Livenza, Lemene and Tagliamento basins, attention on the rest of the basins except on the upper Piave (green). As regards hydrogeological criticality: state of alarm (red) in the Po, Fissero-Tartaro-CanalBianco and Basso Adige basins; of the Lower Brenta-Bacchiglione; of the Lower Piave, Sile and the lagoon drainage basin; pre-alarm status (orange) in all the rest of the regional basins. The hydrogeological warning for thunderstorms in all the river basins of the Veneto is maximum with the exception of the upper Piave area of Belluno. In consideration of the rainfall that has occurred and is forecast, the Civil Protection recommends paying particular attention to the hydraulic rods relating to the basins of the Brenta, Bacchiglione, Retrone, Alpone, Chiampo, Fratta-Gorzone rivers as well as the Adige river, and those of the Eastern Veneto (Monticano, Meschio , Livenza Tagliamento).
