The severe flooding in Italy prompted the authorities to issue a travel warning in the northern part of the country. According to Euronews, "six months' worth of rain fell in 36 hours in the region of Emilia-Romagna." The floods have so far taken the lives of at least 14 people.

An advisory by Kuehne+Nagel highlighted that rain storms rendered many parts of the region inaccessible, such as the motorway from Bologna towards the Adriatic coast, which remains closed to date. However, the situation is expected to ease as of early next week. In the meantime, delays in transport and delivery are expected.
