Bad weather continues to keep Italy in check. For Wednesday 3 June 2026, the Department of Civil Protection has issued a double weather warning bulletin, with both orange and yellow critical issues linked to rain, thunderstorms and risks in the area. The picture is determined by the transit of the first disturbance of the month, which swept away the record heat of recent days and brought intense showers to a large part of the country.
Orange alert: eyes on Liguria
The highest level criticality concerns Liguria. The Civil Protection has issued an orange alert due to the risk of rain and thunderstorms in the Ligurian Po Valley Basins of the Levante and the Ligurian Maritime Basins of the Levante. Also in Liguria, the orange alert is also triggered due to hydrogeological risk, in this case limited to the Eastern Ligurian Maritime Basins. It is worth remembering that hydrogeological risk indicates the harmful effects on the territory caused by phenomena linked to water and soil, such as landslides, landslides, rock collapses and mud flows. These are events often triggered by torrential rains or, on the contrary, by long periods of drought that make the soil more fragile.
Yellow alert for rain and thunderstorms in 13 regions
The bad weather is widespread, with heavy showers and possible hailstorms forecast. The Civil Protection has issued a yellow alert bulletin for the risk of rain and thunderstorms in thirteen regions: Abruzzo, Campania, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Molise, Puglia, Tuscany, Umbria and Veneto.
Yellow alert for hydraulic risk
Two regions are included in the bulletin for hydraulic risk. These are Emilia Romagna, on the high hills and mountains of Romagna and on the hills and mountains of Bologna, and Lombardy, on the Bergamo Orobie and the Milan Hydraulic Hub.
Yellow alert for hydrogeological risk in 10 regions
Separate chapter for the hydrogeological risk in the yellow band, which involves ten regions: Abruzzo, Emilia Romagna, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria, Lombardy, Molise, Puglia, Tuscany, Trentino Alto Adige (Autonomous Province of Bolzano) and Veneto. The advice, as always in these circumstances, is to follow the updates of the regional bulletins and to pay maximum attention when traveling in the areas affected by the critical issues.
