		</div><p>A quarter of Venice has been submerged by a near-record high tide for June, a time of year when such flooding is rare.</p>
<p>The water level in Italy’s lagoon city reached 116 centimetres (three feet, 9.7 inches) late Thursday, the third-highest mark for June.</p>
<p>That level indicates that around a quarter of Venice has been flooded.</p>
<p>Venice’s sea monitoring agency blamed the unusually high late spring tide on a storm in the Atlantic that brought heavy winds and rain to northern Italy.</p>
<p>Another unseasonably high tide is expected on Friday night.</p>
<p>The highest June high tide was registered in 2002, when the water mark hit 121 centimetres, followed by 117 centimetres in June of 2016.</p>
<p>Venice authorities on Friday did not put out pedestrian bridges, which are usually only used in the peak “acqua alta” season from September to April.</p>
<p>Venice and the rest of Italy are still closed to cruise ships but Italy relaxed travel restrictions for Italians and most Europeans on Wednesday.</p>
