Italy is preparing for three days of bad weather from north to south. The bad weather arrived in northern Italy last night and will hit the regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in particular. For today, violent thunderstorms are also expected in Lombardy, where the city of Milan had already ordered yesterday for the alert to close and ban access to parks and open green areas and, for today, also to close cemeteries and markets in the vicinity of trees. The Milan City Council's decision came in the face of damage suffered by the city from bad weather in recent days, estimated at 50 million euros, with 5,000 trees felled and nearly three hundred schools damaged, but only two seriously. On the night of August 3-4, temperatures also dropped dramatically in the areas affected by the bad weather: according to meteorologists, this is an anticipation of autumn. For meteorologist Lorenzo Tedici, "A cyclone at the beginning of August is a novelty for Italian climatology," due to the particular atmospheric conditions of recent weeks that have seen African anticyclones greatly warming the air and temperature in the Mediterranean.
