Italy is facing multiple kinds of extreme weather at once, with southern parts of the country scorched by blistering heat, while the north is battered by deadly storms
. On Tuesday alone, extreme weather killed at least three people, according to Italian authorities. A teenager and a woman were killed by falling trees as severe storms hit northern Italy in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Italy’s fire brigade said they responded to 400 emergency calls for fallen trees, roof damage, flooding and broken windows after storms caused widespread damage in the area.
Palermo’s Falcone Borsellino airport was closed for several hours on Tuesday due to the fires, but reopened later in the morning with flights from major airlines now being allowed to land and take off with major delays. Most budget airlines have been diverted to Trapani airport, according to the Palermo airport authority. Sicily’s other major airport in Catania has limited service after a fire in one of the terminals there last week, according to the Catania airport authority.
