About these tools
Town Tools builds free, public tools for Genoa and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

The Dipartimento della Protezione Civile publishes one criticality bulletin a day, normally by 16:00 Italian time, giving each of Italy's alert zones a level for flooding, for hydrogeological risk and for thunderstorms, today and tomorrow. Genoa's zone is Bacini Liguri Marittimi di Centro. This page reads that bulletin. It does not decide anything: whether schools and parks close is the Comune's call, announced on the Comune's own channels.
No weather warnings for Genoa right now.
The Dipartimento della Protezione Civile has no alert (allerta) in force for Genoa, as of Thu 30 July at 23:52.
Bollettino del 30 luglio 2026 ore 15:11
The wind at central Genoa, by the Porto Antico
A light breeze (about 7 km/h, gusts to 13), out of the north-northeast.
Strongest gusts forecast over the next 24 hours: about 23 km/h. Wind words follow the Beaufort scale. This is a weather model’s forecast for the hour, not a measurement — exposed ground above town will see more.
Where the allerta is actually announced
The colour on this page is the national bulletin's assessment for the whole zone. What it means on the ground in Genoa — schools, parks, cemeteries, ground-floor rooms, the roads over the culverted torrents — is decided and announced by the Comune di Genova and Regione Liguria. Follow them, not us. If water is rising where you are, call 112.
Roughly 500 mm of rain fell on a small part of the city in a few hours. The Fereggiano, a torrent culverted beneath the street that carries its name, came out. Six people died in the same stretch of via Fereggiano, among them two young girls with their mother and a nineteen-year-old.
9 October 2014 — the Bisagno
Very intense rain over the city and the heights behind it. The Bisagno, the Fereggiano and the Sturla all flooded and large areas of the centre went under; one person died. Italy's colour-coded allerta — gialla, arancione, rossa — was introduced nationally after this flood, which is why the colour on this page exists at all.
The zone is much bigger than the city
Bacini Liguri Marittimi di Centro covers 27 comuni and reaches west as far as Savona. It is not the coast-and-valley split residents actually live with: the comune alone runs about 30 km along the coast across nine Municipi, and a storm that fills the Val Bisagno can leave Prà dry. The colour is the official assessment for the whole zone. It is not a forecast for your street.
What the colours are, and what they are not
Gialla, arancione and rossa are civil-protection judgements of the criticality expected across the zone. They are not rainfall amounts and there is no millimetre threshold behind them. Thunderstorm risk (temporali) is assessed on a shorter scale with no red level at all — that is by design, not a gap. What each level means in practice in Genoa is set out by the Comune on the pages above.
