But the flip side of the strong anti-hurricane presence this season is represented by fog (and not only). over there Po ValleyBeside Valleys of the Alps and Apenninesare the areas most exposed to low visibility, which is sometimes continuous during the day, causing great inconvenience, especially to road traffic, which has become somewhat dangerous in particular because of the so-called blurry “banks”.
