The great heat and summer still seem to be far from Italy. The weather picture is provided by the La7 expert, Paolo Sottocorona, who links up as usual with the Omnibus episode and also does so on 23 May, the occasion in which he shows a particular satellite image: “It refers to around half yesterday afternoon. These cloud formations in the center gave some intense phenomena, these in the north where it was expected that there would be intense phenomena, that is, rains almost everywhere, isolated intense phenomena, isolated but intense. But from the photos sent to us nothing but intense phenomena.”
We then move on to the weather forecast day by day: “The area of lighter clouds concerns this part of upper Piedmont, Lombardy, in fact there is already some precipitation this morning. Instability, with intense clouds, will be in all northern regions. Instead, in the center only some light rain is expected, therefore no more intense phenomena, in the south essentially nothing for today, Thursday 23 May. Tomorrow, Friday 24th, a day generally similar in line, little or no precipitation in the south, only some light precipitation in Sardinia, some clouds in the centre, western areas in the north, the border in Valle d’Aosta, beyond the border in France, some intense phenomena, but there are also light rains, in short it is not marked bad weather in some cases. But there is Saturday in which this instability is reactivated, in the north with locally intense phenomena, in the center with phenomena on the Apennines, especially locally intense here too, so it is beautiful unstable weather, in the peninsular south some light rain arrives , but even in this case it remains a little outside this type of unstable air circulation”.
Sottocorona concludes its focus with an in-depth analysis of the maximum temperatures forecast for today: “There is a recovery in some cases in the north, partial at least in the eastern part, always medium-high values and high in the south I would say, high but not not exceptional for the season. The trend in the next 24 hours is a slight increase, especially in Sardinia and the central regions, partly in the south. The north sees some slight increases, some slight decreases. In short, there are no particularly significant changes.”
