Weather alert, high risk schools closed tomorrow due to strong winds

If the wind were to remain as strong as today and the weather alert had to be extended further, there would be a high risk of school closure in Campania for tomorrow, Monday 18 November. At the moment there are no news of ordinances of mayors that provide for the temporary suspension of educational activities for precautionary purposes. However, the bad weather that is currently affecting Naples and the rest of Campania is a source of concern for many public administrators. The problem, as always, is represented by the strong wind that can cause the fall of trees or the uncovering of particularly weak roofs. Critical situation since yesterday in Giuglianese and Casertano.

In these hours then the phenomena of "water bombs", that is to say very strong and brief precipitations, put at serious risk many areas already classified as high hydrogeological risk. Hence the yellow weather alert until tonight. The short-term weather forecasts refer to "compact densities on the Campania region with associated scattered showers and occasional storms, the latter along the coasts, evening attenuation of the phenomena. In the rest of the South, scattered cloudiness in the morning, with local compact densities along the Tyrrhenian areas and on the inland areas of Molise with occasional showers, a cloudless sky from the afternoon, with some more consistent clouds on the island ". Before deciding whether schools should remain closed, there are a series of mandatory technical steps that involve the Civil Protection and the municipal administrations concerned, first the departments of the branch and then the mayor in person, the only one able to write the order.
