  1. Venice raises its protective floodgates due to heavy rain.

    The water levels in the ancient Italian trading hub are more than 1.5 metres above the normal level. Without flood protections, 80% of Venice's pedestrian paths would be under water.

    The highest warning levels are now in effect. Waters up to 1.4 metres are forecast for both Wednesday and Thursday.
