Campania Weather Alert, starting tomorrow there is a thunderstorm alert: heavy rains, including hail, are expected from 12pm to 21pm.
Rain and storms coming to Campania. The Civil Protection of the Campania Region has issued a weather alert with a Yellow level of hydrogeological criticality. The alert is valid from 12 to 21 tomorrow, Sunday 28 August, throughout the regional territory.
The storms, warns the Civil Protection, could be sudden, strong and localized: the phenomena are in fact characterized by rapid evolution, forecast uncertainty and being temporary but intense. For this reason they could cause hailstorms, lightning, damage to roofs, falling branches or trees and be accompanied by gusts of wind. A consequent hydrogeological risk is also expected: they are possible flooding, runoff, rising water levels of watercourses, water flow along roads, falling rocks and occasional landslides linked to particularly fragile conditions of the territory.
The Civil Protection of the Campania Region recommends that the competent bodies implement all measures to prevent and counteract the phenomena expected in terms of hydrogeological risk for storms, in line with the respective Municipal Plans. It is also recommended to check the correct maintenance of public green areas and structures exposed to the stress of winds and other possible atmospheric phenomena (hail) as well as to pay attention to subsequent warnings from the Civil Protection.
