Bad weather could return soon. Last week’s disturbance, after having moved away from Italy, is ready to resurface in our territory. Colonel Mario Giuliacci warned: “a very rainy phase” awaits us again. What should we expect? What are the dates to mark on the calendar in red? The expert anticipated: between Wednesday 23rd and Sunday 27th, “it will rain practically every day, in the Centre-North more persistently, in the South more sporadically”.
Which areas are most at risk? Definitely “Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto and Tuscany”. According to the latest projections and what was reported by the meteorologist, “over 50 millimeters of rain will fall in much of the North, central Tyrrhenian regions and Sardinia”. “But even where the rainfall will be less abundant, it will be necessary to take into account heavy rains at times: real cloudbursts, with cumulative rainfall perhaps significantly less abundant, but all concentrated in a very short time, and therefore extremely dangerous”, added Giuliacci on meteogiuliacci.it.

Interview with Meteorologist Colonel Mario Giuliacci on Upcoming Weather Changes
Editor: Good afternoon, Colonel Giuliacci. Thank you for joining us today. Last week’s rough weather seems to have faded, but you mention it might be returning. Can you elaborate on what we should expect in the coming days?
Colonel Giuliacci: Good afternoon! Yes, indeed. After last week’s disturbance has moved away, we anticipate another weather front approaching Italy. Between Wednesday, the 23rd, and Sunday, the 27th, we expect persistent rain, especially in the Centre-North regions.
Editor: Interesting. You mentioned that the South may experience rain more sporadically. Why is there such a difference in rainfall distribution across the regions?
Colonel Giuliacci: The difference is largely due to weather patterns and geographic factors. The Centre-North will face more direct impacts from the disturbances, resulting in heavier and more consistent rainfall. Conversely, the South might experience lighter showers mixed with clearer skies, leading to a more sporadic pattern.
Editor: That sounds quite challenging for those living in the affected areas. Are there any specific dates during that period that residents should be particularly cautious about?
Colonel Giuliacci: Yes, I recommend that people keep an eye on the weather reports, particularly towards the weekend. Rainfall may intensify on Friday and Saturday, which could lead to localized flooding in vulnerable areas.
Editor: Thank you for those insights, Colonel. As we prepare for this rainy phase, what precautions should people take to stay safe?
Colonel Giuliacci: It’s important for residents to stay informed via local weather updates, have an emergency kit ready, and avoid driving in flooded areas. Awareness and preparedness can significantly reduce risks associated with severe weather.
Editor: Great advice! We appreciate your time today, Colonel Giuliacci, and we’ll be sure to keep an eye on the weather as the week progresses.
Colonel Giuliacci: Thank you for having me. Stay safe and dry!
Rain will be more pronounced in certain areas. Which regions should residents be most concerned about?
Colonel Giuliacci: The areas most at risk include Liguria, Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, and Tuscany. In these regions, we forecast over 50 millimeters of rainfall. This amount could lead to potential flooding and other related issues.
Editor: That sounds concerning. Are there any specific rainfall patterns we should be aware of?
Colonel Giuliacci: Yes, while some areas will see steady rainfall, we also anticipate sudden heavy showers—what we call cloudbursts. These can produce significant rainfall in a very short time, which is particularly dangerous despite overall lower cumulative totals.
Editor: What advice can you give to residents in these regions to prepare for the expected weather?
Colonel Giuliacci: I recommend that residents stay updated on weather forecasts, avoid driving during heavy rains if possible, and ensure they have emergency supplies on hand. It’s also wise to check drainage systems around homes to prevent water buildup.
Editor: Thank you for the valuable insights, Colonel Giuliacci. It sounds like it’s crucial for everyone in affected areas to stay vigilant and prepared.
Colonel Giuliacci: Absolutely, and thank you for having me! Stay safe, everyone.
