Bad weather continues in Italy. Or at least, in part. Currently, in fact, the northern regions are crossed by masses of fresh and unstable air driven by a deep cyclonic vortex located in Scandinavia, while the South and much of the Center are under a warm anticyclonic cover of African origin. The Azores anticyclone continues to maintain a clearly unfavorable position for the arrival of summer in central western Europe and the north of our country, therefore bringing strong thunderstorms with cloudbursts and hailstorms. Throughout today the risk will be high in many areas of the North, with accumulations between Lombardy and Triveneto that could exceed the threshold of 80/100mm in 24 hours. Then, however, on Thursday it will also be the Centre’s turn.
Bad weather, yellow alert in five regions: from Lombardy to Veneto, here’s where and what the risks are
The situation in Europe
A situation, that of Italy, common to many European countries. As reported by 3BMeteo, it is as cold in the United Kingdom as if it were winter and temperatures are also below average in France, Germany and southern Scandinavia. A very anomalous fact for June which also strongly penalizes our northern regions which are particularly exposed to high thermal contrasts given a warmer air mass of African origin flowing into the Mediterranean. These are all ingredients for strong thunderstorms with downpours and hailstorms. From tonight and throughout Wednesday the risk will be high in many areas of the North with accumulations between Lombardy and Triveneto that could exceed the threshold of 80/100mm within 24 hours, then on Thursday it will also hit the Center. In an iron barrel the South benefits from a large anticyclonic circulation with a warm matrix with temperatures from late July. Let’s see what’s expected until Friday.
Wednesday 12th, the forecast
Today, in the North, unstable since the morning in eastern Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia and Triveneto with the possibility of showers and local thunderstorms, greater openings in Piedmont. In the afternoon, instability will intensify almost everywhere with showers and thunderstorms, some of them strong and locally accompanied by hailstorms. Phenomena still locally strong even in the evening and at night especially between Lombardy, Emilia and Triveneto. In the centre, an overall stable day with the only exception of some thunderstorms, locally strong but isolated, developing in the central hours between inland Tuscany, Umbria and the Marche. South, medium-high cloud disturbances between Sicily and the extreme South, locally in Sardinia but without any notable phenomena. Sunny elsewhere. Temperatures falling in the north, stable elsewhere. Moderate westerly or southerly winds. Rough or locally very rough seas.
Thursday 13th, the forecast
In the North, a day still unstable at times between eastern Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna and Triveneto with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, more persistent and locally strong in the afternoon. Large openings to the Northwest with only isolated phenomena. It improves everywhere from the evening. Center, irregular cloudiness in the morning but with very isolated phenomena. Afternoon with widespread thunderstorms, even of strong intensity, and with hail between inland Tuscany, inland Lazio, Umbria, the Marche and Abruzzo. On the Adriatic, storms will also be able to easily reach the coast. It improves in the evening. South, overall sunny except for a few isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms between Molise and Puglia. Temperatures also dropping in the Center. Moderate westerly or north-westerly winds. Rough or locally very rough seas.
Friday 14th, the forecast
On Friday, a stable and mostly sunny day in the north on the coasts and plains. Some clouds scattered over the Alpine and pre-Alpine sectors, more widespread in the afternoon hours but associated with completely sporadic phenomena. Centre, stable and sunny weather with some low clouds in the morning along the Tuscan coasts. South, overall stable and largely sunny weather. Temperatures also dropping in the South. Moderate north-westerly winds. Rough or locally very rough seas.
