Heavy rains lash Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia as they continue their journey

The low-pressure system known as 'Adam' is currently causing severe weather conditions across Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, prompting national meteorological services to issue high-level alerts. Authorities anticipate massive rainfall, extreme flash floods, mudslides, and strong storms through Thursday morning, leading civil protection agencies to declare the highest alarm level in several regions. In Italy, red weather warnings have been issued for Friuli-Venezia Giulia, while orange warnings cover Veneto, Lombardy, Piedmont, Liguria, Lazio, Campania, Puglia, Calabria, Basilicata, Sardinia, and Sicily. The Slovenian coast, particularly cities like Piran, Portoroz, Izola, and Koper, faces storm surges and rapidly rising river levels in the western interior. In Croatia, the Istrian peninsula, Kvarner Bay, and coastal mountains are at risk of flooding and extreme gale-force winds, which has already disrupted ferry traffic between islands such as Krk, Cres, Losinj, Rab, and Pag.
