For approximately a week the atmospheric circulation over Central Europe and the Mediterranean was characterized by the continuous descent of nuclei of cold Arctic air, which led to the return of snow even at medium-low altitudes. In the last few hours the meteorological situation has undergone a new radical change, with the cold air this time targeting the Iberian peninsula, causing the recall of mild or warm air towards the Italian peninsula. This has been the case since Sunday, when Sicily is affected by a subtropical promontory of African origin that transports warm air by means of weak or moderate siroccal winds. Tomorrow the anticyclone will tend to weaken and move eastwards, allowing the cold air to slowly move towards the central sector of the Mediterranean. This dynamic, also supported by the formation of a depression on the ground, will determine a new and moderate temperature drop and the arrival of some rain during May 1st.
Tuesday 30 April sky generally variable due to stratified clouds. In the evening, low clouds over the Ionian sector. Temperatures almost stationary, with maximums above 26°C on the Tyrrhenian coast. Twenty of Scirocco strengthening especially in the afternoon, with gusts close to 100 km/h on Nebrodi and on Peloritani.
Wednesday 1st May A cold front will pass from west to east. Scattered rain is expected between night and morning, followed by an improvement in the afternoon with the opening of clear spells. However, further showers cannot be ruled out until the evening. However, the localization of the phenomena is still uncertain. Temperatures still high in the first part of the day on the Tyrrhenian Messina area, with values up to +25/27°C, then decreasing from the afternoon and more significantly from the evening. Still sustained Scirocco winds in the morning, rotating at Libeccio or Ponente following the passage of the front.
