Genoa low

The Ligurian Sea

A Genoa low (also known as Genoa cyclogenesis, Ligurian depression, or V(5)-track cyclone) is a cyclone that forms or intensifies from a pre-existing cyclone to the south of the Alps over the Gulf of Genoa, Ligurian Sea, Po Valley and northern Adriatic.[1] Vb cyclones are rare events which occur on average only 2.3 times per year.[2]
