Heavy rainfall in northern Italy has caused the Po River to reach its highest level since 2019, prompting evacuations in affected areas. Authorities in Piacenza evacuated 30 people as a precautionary measure. Critical zones along the riverbank have been secured with sandbags.
Meteorologists forecast continued rainfall, particularly in northwestern Italy. The Italian Civil Protection Agency has issued warnings for several regions. While the intensity is expected to be less severe than previous storms, western regions remain vulnerable.
Tourists in northern Italy are advised to monitor weather forecasts and heed local warnings. Outdoor activities near rivers or in flood-prone areas are discouraged.
