Milan, 19 June 2024 – Here we are: summer officially begins tomorrow. And after months of bad weather, weather warnings and downpours, it seemed that too the climate had “aligned” to the astronomical season. But be careful, because the heat and sun that are characterizing the days in Lombardy and Milan could just be a calm interlude between one disturbance and another.
Indeed, a disturbance it is advancing slowly on the Iberian Peninsula hindered by the anticyclonic promontory that extends from North Africa to the Mediterranean. What does it mean for us? For now, mild southwestern currents persist in Lombardy mostly stable with some clouds and possible showers on the hills. Temperatures rising but since Thursday the progress of the disturbance it will bring greater instability to the western sectors, and on Friday the structure will pass through Lombardyor widespread showers and thunderstorms, to then leave Saturday and Sunday with very variable conditions with scattered and intermittent showers and falling temperatures.
But let’s see the forecasts for the next few days in detail.
