The Bormida river flooded in the Savona area in the towns of Ferrania, Altare and Cairo Montenotte due to heavy rains.
Train traffic is suspended between Loano and Pietra Ligure (Savona).
Several roads in the province were closed due to flooding and fallen trees, including the Aurelia in Celle, via Bulaxe in Loano, and the Colle di Cadibona road, which was later reopened.
The A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway was closed for about an hour between Varazze and Arenzano in the direction of Genoa.
Schools will be closed Thursday in the La Spezia area while in Celle Ligure the children, due to the weather alert, are stuck in class.
Alerts are also in force in Piedmont, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.
