Weather alert today, August 6, 2025 / Lombardy in yellow for thunderstorms, three other regions also at risk

A new weather alert has been issued for today, Wednesday 6 August 2025: Lombardy is under special observation due to the risk of thunderstorms.

With forecasts long predicting the return of the "great African heat," today appears to be another day of weather alerts , with the Civil Protection focusing its attention exclusively on one region and meteorologists also warning that three other areas – in addition to the one indicated by the Protection – are at risk of finding themselves at the center of violent rains, sometimes of a thunderstorm nature and also accompanied by possible hailstorms.

Starting from the Civil Protection's opinion, it is useful to say that for the early hours of this Wednesday, August 6, 2025, the weather alert will concern (precisely) only Lombardy : from observations, in fact, the entire regional territory – with the exception of the area called Alta Valtellina, corresponding to the "cornino" to the northwest of the Milanese territory – will be subject to an "ordinary" risk due to possible thunderstorms that could develop over the next few hours.

Overall, although the weather alert currently only concerns Lombardy, it's worth remembering that the Civil Protection control room will meet around 3:00 PM to update the daily bulletin. At that time, we'll be able to find out if the risks will extend to other regions this afternoon. Therefore, we recommend keeping an eye on the official bulletin ( which you can find at this link ) to stay up-to-date on possible developments.

The forecast for the next few hours: in addition to the weather warning from the Civil Protection, rain could hit the entire northern area.

In short, for now, today seems to be a rather calm day in terms of weather warnings, especially since in "yellow" Lombardy, the only talk is of the risk of thunderstorms developing, without any warnings for potential geological or hydrogeological problems . Meanwhile, the meteorologists who have been issuing their forecasts in the last few hours have a significantly different opinion regarding the weather warning areas.

For example, when looking at ilMeteo.it, it's worth noting that (while confirming the weather alert for Lombardy), there's also talk of the possible development of thunderstorms in eastern Piedmont, Trentino, and Veneto . Precipitation will be concentrated mostly in the afternoon, and possible hailstorms could develop. While the rain is expected to ease off in the evening and move toward Emilia, the rest of Italy will be dominated by sunshine, with temperatures expected to rise slightly, and starting tomorrow, they'll return to African levels.
