The City of Lugano informs the public that the prolonged period of drought and high temperatures are placing trees throughout the municipal area under severe physiological stress. A lack of water in tree tissues can weaken the structure of the wood and lead to the sudden failure of branches or parts of the tree crown.

This phenomenon may occur even in the absence of wind and can affect trees that, at first glance, show no obvious signs of structural weakness.

For safety reasons, the public is advised to avoid remaining under trees, particularly large ones, and to exercise particular caution in wooded and tree-lined areas. The City is closely monitoring the situation and encourages everyone to act prudently until weather conditions improve.
