A 53-year-old man drowned in flood waters in the town of Gravina di Catania on Tuesday, sources said, as the wave of extreme weather that has been battering Sicily and other part of southern Italy for days claimed another life.
    It had initially been reported that the victim was a young woman.
    The man's body was found under his car, sources said.
    Apparently he got engulfed in the flood waters after getting out of his car, perhaps due to a road accident.
    Rescuers are still searching for a 54-year woman who was swept away along with her husband by flood waters in the town of Scordia, also near Catania, on Sunday.
    The body of her 67-year-old husband was found on Monday.
    Some of Catania's streets were turned into 'rivers' and the central Piazza Duomo outside the Sicilian city's cathedral resembled a lake on Tuesday because of the flooding.
    The chaos was made worse by a power blackout in the city centre The wave of bad weather is forecast to last all week.
    Scientists say climate change caused by human activity is making extreme weather events more frequent and even more intense.
