After weather warnings and torrential rains, Lombardy is perhaps starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. This week, on June 20th, summer will officially begin, at least on paper. And the climate also seems to have gotten the message. In fact, in the next few days an anticyclonic area will arrive in the region which from North Africa will extend across the entire Mediterranean Basin, favoring stable conditions, with mainly sunny days and a rise in temperature compared to the last “frosty” weeks (always considering that we are on the threshold of the hottest season).
Summer “uncorked”, then? Unfortunately, not exactly. Towards the weekend, particularly on Thursday evening, weather conditions could get worse again due to the approach of a trough (atmospheric pressure) which will mainly affect the Iberian Peninsula and which will favor increasingly wetter flows on the north-western sectors, with possible precipitation localized more likely on the western Alpine and pre-Alpine sectors. The day after, Friday 21st, the situation should worsen due to the passage of a depression wave over Northern Italy which will bring showers and thunderstorms even in the plains. Still uncertainty about the weekend: a.m. is scheduled for Saturday gradual restoration of stable conditions.
