Naples – A new weather system is preparing to hit Campania. The regional Civil Protection Department has issued a yellow-level weather alert, effective from midnight tonight and for the next 24 hours. The region is expected to experience worsening conditions, with widespread rainfall, strong winds, and rough seas, possibly causing land damage.
The warning calls for scattered rainfall across the entire region, which may develop into showers or isolated thunderstorms, some of which may be moderate, during the first part of the day. Winds will be from the southwest, locally strong, with possible gusts.
Storm surge is another critical factor. Seas will be rough, with possible storm surges along the coastlines most exposed to strong southwesterly winds, posing risks to the coasts.
The Civil Protection Agency lists a series of possible effects resulting from this intense atmospheric phenomenon. Among the main ones:
Flooding and runoff: Possible flooding of basements and ground floors, water flow onto streets, and critical issues with rainwater drainage systems.
Watercourse flooding: Possible sudden rise in river levels, with risk of flooding in surrounding areas, including due to local criticalities.
Hydrogeological instability: Due to waterlogged soil, landslides and rockfalls are possible in several areas of the region, especially in the most vulnerable areas.
Local authorities and the public are urged to exercise extreme caution, pay attention to updates, and follow the instructions of civil protection authorities.
Weather conditions are worsening in Campania, and an orange alert has been issued for a significant portion of the region. The Campania Region Civil Protection Department has issued a criticality warning, valid from 6:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 14, until 6:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 15. The alert applies to the entire region, except for Zone 4 (Alta…

SALERNO – Landslides, mudslides, and flooding have been affecting the Salerno area in recent hours, where severe weather has left a trail of damage and disruption to traffic. The most critical situation is along the coast and in the hilly areas, with work underway and traffic slowed in several strategic locations.
In Camerota, Cilento, the force of the sea has hurled rocks, sand, and debris onto the Mingardo regional road 562. Safety operations are still underway, and municipal police are patrolling the area. The road remains passable, but the municipality urges extreme caution. In the same area, a landslide caused by heavy rains affected the road between Camerota and Lentiscosa: prompt intervention allowed traffic to be restored within a few hours.
