Heavy rainfall
Lake Garda fuller than it has been for 47 years
After heavy rainfall over the past few days, Lake Garda has reached its highest level in 47 years. The level has risen by ten centimetres in a single day, said Pierlucio Ceresa, head of the Garda Community.
"That corresponds to a water volume of 50 million cubic meters (...). The situation has been managed wisely, with exceptional discharges from the Mincio river." The water level is currently 146 centimetres above the hydrometric zero point in Peschiera, almost one meter more than a year ago.
There is no problem for tourism, Ceresa assured. All beaches are open and shipping is running regularly. According to him, the exceptional drains have been in place for a month - they would guarantee that there would be "no major inconvenience."
Bad weather continues
However, the start of the summer season has so far disappointed many tourism professionals in the area. Numerous holidaymakers have fled the constant rain and shortened their stay. The beaches are currently empty and the lido operators are worried about their income.
The bad weather in the region continues. More rain has fallen in less than six months this year than in the whole of 2022. The tourism industry is now hoping for more stable weather in July.
