The water level in Italy’s lagoon city reached 116 centimeters late Thursday, the third-highest mark for June. That level indicates that around a quarter of Venice has been flooded.Venice’s sea monitoring agency blamed the unusually high late spring tide on a storm in the Atlantic that brought heavy winds and rain to northern Italy. Another unseasonably high tide is expected Friday night.
The highest June high tide was registered in 2002 when the water mark hit 121 centimeters, followed by 117 centimeters in June of 2016.
