In the rest of Italy
North. The day will start with largely stable and sunny weather everywhere. As the hours pass, stormy instability will increase along the Alpine reliefs, partially crossing over to the Prealps. Watch out for the risk of local hailstorms. In the rest of the regions we will have greater and more extensive sunshine, with ventilation from the southern quadrants.
Center and Sardinia. A high pressure field of African origin is expanding over the central regions on this holiday. Consequently, from the morning until the evening we will have prevailing good weather conditions, with lots of sun and a decidedly hot climate everywhere. Even in Sardinia the weather will be decidedly stable, sunny and also very hot especially in the inland areas
South and Sicily. The holiday will see the renewed expansion of a vast African anticyclone over all southern regions. Consequently, from morning until evening, the weather will always be sunny and dry, with an almost total absence of cloudiness over the peninsular sectors and Sicily. The winds will be from the southern quadrants, while the seas will be slightly rough.
