@climate.news4: September 9, 2026 Italy Following weeks of intense heat, a powerful storm system swept across the north and center of the country. The thunderstorms brought heavy downpours, large hail, gale-force winds, and sudden localized flooding. Lombardy was hit particularly hard. In the province of Brescia, some areas recorded approximately 45.5 mm of rainfall in a single day, while the Iseo area saw around 31 mm; other locations experienced even higher totals. Between Alfianello and Pontevico, wind gusts exceeded 100 km/h, damaging the roofs of homes and industrial buildings, tearing down structures and billboards, and toppling trees. In Cigole, a violent gust damaged industrial facilities and ripped off a large number of solar panels. Milan experienced its first severe thunderstorm around 5:30 a.m., followed by another wave later in the day; trees fell onto streets and vehicles, and some neighborhoods suffered flooding.
