Hello, I'm not dead! Between the first exam of the Summer session and Wednesday's storms, I've been quite busy. Anyway, here are the >250 reports we collected at PRETEMP, many of them present in the ESWD as well. Hailstones got up to 8 cm and winds exceeded 110 km/h. 4 injuries were also counted
Gröberes Hagelgewitter mit Eisbrocken über 5cm heute im Raum Treviso. 🇮🇹
Der Ort ist kein Zufall: Venetien und das Friaul sind DIE Hagel-Hotspots in Europa. Vor 3 Jahren gab es hier den bisherigen 🇪🇺 Rekordhagel von 19cm Größe.
🎥 Michele/Tornado in Italia
This morning a tornado struck northern Rome, causing damage and at least one minor injury. Video by Daiana Micheli
Some supercells are currently ongoing around tne Lake Garda - Verona and Rovigo areas, with large hail reported in multiple locations
Finally a closer look at when the circulation was over land, including a look at dual-pol variables through the RGB. It's possible that some debris was detected, but it's not a very coherent signature, and at least part of the low CC comes from ground clutter.

Update of the update: we found it as it approached the Monfalcone port, here seen by the nearby Panomax webcam! It could have made a (second?) landfall there, but of course we'll never know

Well... that was an interesting signature last night near the Fossalon radar in NE Italy @federicopavan.bsky.social . It tracked mostly over sea, but hit a small section of land as well, so I'm curious whether some damage reports come from there. The circulation wasn't that strong though.
