Strong thunderstorms and hailstorms will continue to hit some regions of our country in the next few hours. The atmosphere is still unable to find some firm and lasting stability.
The general meteorological picture continues to be negatively influenced by a large cyclonic circulation, whose driving center is located near the United Kingdom. The effects of this situation manifest themselves on a large scale and many Italian regions are also affected by this influence.
The next few hours they will be characterized by a general increase in cloud cover which could lead to precipitation, including thunderstorms, in particular in the eastern areas of Piedmont and Lombardy from the morning, especially near the mountains. Over the course of the hours, the atmospheric instability will also extend to the rest of the North-West (pay attention to eastern Liguria), gradually moving eastwards, towards the Triveneto. At the same time, drier weather conditions are expected in Emilia Romagna and the rest of the country, with the sun shining undisturbed for much of the morning, especially in the South.
In the afternoon, however, a renewed worsening is expected with strong instability which will once again affect the entire North. They will be frequent i showers hey temporalwith possible hailstorms local, which will affect all regions, but with greater probability and diffusion in the upper Po Valley and the main mountains.
The weather will also worsen in the central regions, where the areas most at risk will be those of the Apennine ridge and the areas adjacent to it, especially in Tuscany and Marche.
Towards the evening, after a day spent entirely stable in the southern regions and in a practically summer context, the instability in the central and northern regions will begin to show signs of attenuation, guaranteeing an evening marked by a clear improvement.
