Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. This is CBSI in the world. I'm John Batchelor. To Italy, the Lorenzo Fiore of the

Anseldo Foundation. We've both been worried for some days about the Poe River Valley that experienced a

drought two years ago and we were worried the lack of snow, the lack of rain earlier in the

season. Did this mean another Poe River crisis?

Apparently not because the headlines right now. Extreme weather in Italy and France

brings avalanches floods.

Lorenzo, a very good evening to you.

You're in forensic, you're traveling, but I'm told from the news that over these last days

there's been lots of snow in the Italian Alps,

lots of rain in Lombardia, in Tuscany, and Laguaria. How much rain? Is this

what you described? Is it heavier is this good news good

evening to you loranza good evening John and good evening to all the radio

listeners from Florence well I'm just arrived here and let me tell you that the sky is very, very dark.

Plenty of very dark clouds. We are expecting another very heavy perturbation that likely bring a lot of other rain and snow over the Alps and over the north and Central of Italy across the weekend.

I can tell you that we had very, a lot of rain and a lot of snow on the Alps,

something like two meters of snow on the Alps in a few hours.

So a very extreme case of a winter time that is coming to the last period of the winter.

And a lot of rain that is very important so now we are happy because let me tell you

This is a something like a bless water a blast no that can continue to bring fresh resources during the summertime,

particularly if we will face again a very hot summer and the dry season.

So we're right now we're on a good course for the Poe River Valley to be routine.

Nothing bad what can happen.
