Bari sits in southern Italy or on one of its islands, where hot, dry Mediterranean summers give way to an autumn and winter rainy season, when warm sea-surface temperatures can fuel extremely intense, slow-moving storms known in Italy as nubifragi.
On Apulia’s Adriatic coast, the city experienced a rare and severe flash flood in 2005 that reshaped local drainage planning. These autumn events have produced some of Italy’s most devastating floods in recent memory, and radar imagery is central to how Italy’s national civil protection system issues flash-flood alerts along this coast.
