High pressure, the undisputed protagonist of a weekend characterized by stability and a significant rise in temperatures, it seems destined for a abrupt carried out at the beginning of the following week. From Monday, the British Isles will see one form atmospheric depression which, progressing rapidly towards Central Europe, will threaten conditions weather forecast in different areas of our country, with a greater employment on the northern regions. The latter, in fact, will suffer a worsening since the beginning of the week, with a clear intensification of showers And temporal, which will find particular expression in the Alpine areas. In short, a new ideal phase for rains and thunderstorms will take shape.
The sudden ones weather and climate changes that we are observing originate in the so-called “exchanges of air masses according to meridians”, large atmospheric movements that affect the hemisphere and which see the cold air from Northern Europe and the Atlantic move towards the middle latitudes, cooling these areas, while warm currents of subtropical African origin move towards the north of the continent. These phenomena determine extremes contrastclimates between different geographical areas.
In particular, according to the updates provided by Central Europeanthe beginning of the week will be marked by the arrival of a deep depression fed by Atlantic currents, which will quickly cross central-northern Europe, and then converge in the Mediterranean basin through the Rhone Gate. This movement is typical of a configuration that predisposes to instability atmospheric influences in our seas, thus favoring the formation of a cyclone which will bring rain and thunderstorms, especially to Northern Italy during the days of Tuesday 14th, Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th May. The influx of cold air at high altitude could also trigger meteorological phenomena extremes locally, as storms And hailstormsdue to the strong thermal contrasts that will occur in the area.
Despite these severe weather forecasts, it is important to note that the weather will not be uniformly adverse across all regions. In fact, following the counterclockwise rotation of the currents around the depression center, it is also expected the rise of an extremely hot air mass of subtropical origincoming from Sahara desert. This warm current, driven by the African anticyclone, will extend over the regions central-southern of Italy. As a result, temperatures will be expected in these areas significantly higher to seasonal averages, with maximum values that could reach i 30-35°C in particular in Sicily, Calabria and Puglia.
Therefore, the influence ofhigh pressure which will guarantee in this a weekend atmospheric stability and an increase in temperatures seems destined to end at the beginning of next week in different regions. The areas most vulnerable to worsening weather will be the northern ones from Monday, with an intensification of showers and the presence of thunderstorms, originating in the Alpine areas. Extremely intense phenomena cannot be ruled out over the course of the days, even with hail.
During Tuesday and Wednesday, atmospheric instability could intensify, also involving the regions of the North-East and some central areas, especially those overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, where further rain and thunderstorms are expected. In contrast, the regions of Southern Italy should remain more protected thanks to the influence of the anticyclone, with temperatures that would remain high, reaching peaks of around 35°C in the second half of the week. On the contrary, the North and part of the Center could experience a decrease in temperatures, due to reduced sun exposure and the effects of atmospheric instability.
It is important to underline that these forecasts could change in the coming days, given their temporal distance from the predicted events. It is therefore advisable to stay updated on the latest developments weather forecast to get a clearer and more precise picture of upcoming weather conditions.
