The African anticyclone returns to show itself and right around the weekend it will bring sun and heat back to many regions, even if the risk of some thunderstorms and local hailstorms will remain high.
Globally, we are witnessing a clear change in atmospheric circulation. The cold currents that have continued to flow from the icy lands of Northern Europe in recent days have begun to weaken under the pressure of milder and wetter winds, driven by the approach of a deep cyclonic vortexcurrently located near the British Isles and destined to attract increasingly warmer air masses directly from North Africa, especially in the second part of the weekend.
This configuration, at least initially, will continue to penalize the Northern regions, in particular those of the North-West.
The day of Saturday 27 Aprilin fact, it will be characterized by often gray skies over the northern regions: rain, some thunderstorms and local hailstorms will however be more likely in the more western sectors. The weather conditions will remain stable, however, in the Center and especially in the South, where the weather will not only be sunnier, but also decidedly milder.
For Sunday 28 April Good news is coming for lovers of warm and beautiful weather. The warm currents rising from North Africa will intensify, thus giving energy to a anticyclonic promontory of subtropical origin, which will extend its influence on our country. As a result, the holiday will be a decidedly more stable and, above all, warmer day for much of the country. Once again, the extreme regions of the North-West will be an exception, in particular the mountains, where during the afternoon hours we expect some sudden storm.
So are we preparing for a long period of warm beautiful weather? It seems not. Already since Tuesday 30 Aprilin fact, the arrival of one is expected disturbance Atlantic destined to compromise the Feast of First of May and, probably, also the days immediately following.
He spoke on these issues Antonio Sanòfounder of -which we asked what is planned for the next few days and a preview of the weather for the May Day holiday.
The cold, rainy and snowy period experienced in recent days is about to end. Precisely in conjunction with the last weekend of April, the African anticyclone will return to visit us and will be able to protect a large part of Italy, only some regions will be affected by unstable weather. But it will only be a truce, in fact from May 1st the bad weather will return.
Could we go into more detail, also for the weekend?
Friday and Saturday will still be very unstable days for some regions; in fact in the North the atmosphere will not yet be completely stable and so the rains will affect the North-West more frequently where it will still snow in the Alps, on average above 1200 and then 1500 metres. The weather will be less rainy in the North-East and Center and sunnier in the South.
On Sunday, the advance of subtropical high pressure will bring more stable weather for everyone, in fact the sun will prevail and temperatures will begin to rise generously up to easily reach 24-25°C in many cities.
So will we be heading into a more stable period?
Not exactly. This situation of atmospheric stability will be further strengthened on Monday 29th when all of Italy will find itself under the sun and even a summer climate. It could even reach 28-30°C in the internal areas of the Centre-South.
But this new taste with a late spring or in some cases summer flavor will come to an abrupt stop from the afternoon of Tuesday 30th. A disturbance driven by southern winds and driven by a cyclone between Spain and the Balearic Islands will make the weather worse starting from the Major Islands and the Northwest. The unstable and disturbed cloud body will cross at least half of Italy with rain and thunderstorms at times intense, on Wednesday 1st May.
