The latest updates indicate that the African Anticyclone could have a significant influence, reducing the impact of the intrusion of cool oceanic air, initially expected between next Monday and Wednesday.
Despite this, a thermal contraction is expected, which could trigger thunderstorms, although the formation of the cold drop, previously feared, may not occur.
This would limit the extent and intensity of the precipitation.
As the days go by, the African Anticyclone should dominate the entire Mediterranean area, supported by an anticyclonic structure developing over northern central Europe.
This weather block configuration could persist throughout the first week of September, keeping the weather stable and warm.
SHORT-TERM WEATHER For the upcoming weekend, a further strengthening of the subtropical anticyclone is expected, resulting in an improvement in the weather.
The sun will dominate the sky, accompanied by a marked rise in temperatures, which will again exceed seasonal averages in all Italian regions.
Although no record thermal anomalies are expected, the maximum temperatures could easily exceed 35°C in some locations.
The humidity will make its appearance again, with an increase in relative humidity, especially along the coasts and in the Po Valley.
This will lead to weather conditions characterized by humid and oppressive heat, particularly annoying during the evening and night hours.
TOWARDS SEPTEMBER With Autumn now around the corner, the most recent weather projections do not indicate the imminent arrival of the rainy season.
On the contrary, the succession of heat waves will contribute to maintaining a high level of accumulated heat in the Mediterranean.
This could lead, when the first autumn disturbances arrive, to extremely intense, if not violent, weather phenomena.
However, it will be necessary to monitor further updates from international calculation centers to have a clearer picture of the situation.
IN CONCLUSION The Summer could therefore extend beyond the canonical limits, invading the rainy season, as has already happened in recent years.
This scenario highlights how climate changes are altering normal seasonal cycles, leading to an increasingly long summer and a minimal autumn. Northern Italy, Central Italy, and Southern Italy will therefore have to prepare for a prolongation of summer weather conditions, with high temperatures and humidity, at least until the first week of September.
Only later could a significant change be seen, with the arrival of the first autumn disturbances, but for now, the African Anticyclone seems determined to maintain control of the situation.
We remind you that weather forecasts are more reliable up to 5 days, while their accuracy decreases with the increase of the forecast period.
