Genoa Moves from Red to Yellow Heat Alert
Genoa had a red alert for heat. Now the city has a yellow alert. This alert is lower than red. It means the heat is less dangerous now.
The weather will change soon. Storms are coming to the Liguria region. Liguria is in the north of Italy.
The storms may bring hail. Hail is small pieces of ice that fall like rain. Some areas may also have floods. A flood happens when there is too much water on the streets.
From tomorrow, temperatures will go down. This means the weather will feel cooler. People in Genoa are happy about this change.
The yellow alert will stay for some days. After that, the weather should be normal again.
