A low-pressure system moving across Tuscany from the Atlantic is expected to bring scattered thunderstorms, some potentially severe, across much of the region. The Regional Civil Protection Authority has issued a weather alert for Sunday, July 13, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., warning of strong thunderstorms and possible hydrogeological risks linked to minor watercourses.
The highest alert level—orange—has been issued for coastal areas and the southern part of Tuscany. A yellow alert applies to central and northwestern areas of the region, including Florence.
Florence and nearby towns are under yellow alert due to the risk of intense rain and local flooding. The alert specifically concerns secondary waterways such as the Ema, Mugnone, and Terzolle rivers. Municipalities affected include Bagno a Ripoli, Fiesole, Greve in Chianti, Impruneta, Lastra a Signa, Pontassieve, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Scandicci, and Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.
Areas excluded from the alert include Mugello, Val di Sieve, Romagna Toscana, Casentino along the Arno River, and the Valtiberina.
Residents are advised to monitor updates and take precautions during the hours covered by the alert.
