VENICE—Reeling from devastating floods this week, Venice suffered another exceptional high tide on Nov. 17, with the water peaking at 150 cm (4.9 feet), marking the worst week for the city since official tide statistics were produced in 1872.
The city’s center for tide forecasts had warned the tide could reach 160 cm on Sunday and the high mark hit at 12:10 p.m. GMT was not far short of that.
