The base’s location on the low-lying, flat Plain of Catania is ideal for an airfield. But the rainy season means there’s a good chance of localized flooding.

Hurricanelike weather over the weekend caused widespread flooding and wind damage in Sicily, particularly in the area around Catania, near NAS Sigonella.
