The Civil Protection of the Campania Region has issued a wind alert affecting the entire regional territory, including Sannio, from 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 22 until 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 23.
The notice warns of "Venti localmente forti da Nord-Nord-Est con possibili raffiche" — locally strong winds from north-northeast with possible gusts. The alert is not linked to a specific color code.
Along exposed coastal areas, rough seas and possible coastal wave overtopping/mareggiate are also expected during the same period.
What municipalities are asked to do
Civil Protection has called on municipalities to monitor public green areas and check the stability of structures exposed to wind stress and wave motion. No additional local measures or ordinances for specific municipalities in Sannio were reported in the sources consulted.
Residents should treat this as a general precaution period: pay attention around public green areas and exposed structures, and follow any updates issued by local authorities.
No rainfall emergency
The sources clarify that no rainfall-related criticalities are expected. The green level mentioned in the regional notice refers to hydrogeological risk and does not weaken the wind alert.
In other words: the absence of heavy rain does not mean the wind warning can be ignored.
Useful context for readers in Sannio and travelers
For inland areas such as Benevento and the surrounding Sannio, the main issue is wind and gusts. For those traveling toward the coast during the alert window, conditions may include rough seas and possible coastal wave overtopping/mareggiate on exposed stretches.
The sources consulted do not specify forecast wind speeds or gust values, and the full regional technical bulletin with a detailed breakdown of coastal and inland zones was not available in the acquired sources.
