A weather report from Italy

Unread post by spwill »

I'm in the town of Lucignano, Tuscany. Yesterday afternoon thunderstorms formed across central Tuscany, we had several thunderstorms cross our area late afternoon/ early evening, maximum temperature was around 28C.
The chance for more heat showers here today but it looks like the bigger Cbs will be east and south of here.

It has been humid here in Venice over recent days, there was a lot of thunderstorm activity around Venice yesterday.
Moving to the Alps (Dolomites) today.

There was a tornado in Rho (a NW suburb of Milan) on Friday (22nd Sept). Quite a few videos of it including this one:

Some photos of intense convection around Venice on the 23rd, plenty of lightning and thunder observed but no thunderstorms occurred over the top of Venice.
Also a photo of the unusual mountain landscape of the Dolomites, one of the most amazing places for mountain scenery, the town of Calfosch.
