We are observing a significant weather change that officially announces the end of Summer.
The atmospheric conditions are rapidly changing, indicating a transition towards Autumn, despite the appearance of a new sub-tropical warm advection.
However, this is a “mandatory passage” that anticipates the arrival of the strong disturbance now present between France and Great Britain, which will break in forcefully in the coming hours, definitively sweeping away the intense heat. Early Autumn Autumn will break into the Mediterranean with force, starting this Sunday from northern Italy, although some areas, such as Southern Italy or the Main Islands like Sicily and Sardinia, might still enjoy some moments of intense heat. Northern Italy will probably be the area most affected by the drop in temperatures.
Here, the highs could drop below 15°C, while at high altitudes, snowfall is expected. Central Italy will not be immune, with falling temperatures reaching around 18°C and possible heavy rains. Southern Italy will also see a reduction in temperatures, with peaks of 20°C, accompanied by widespread atmospheric instability. The Atlantic flow and prolonged instability The Atlantic flow, known for bringing coolness and atmospheric disturbances, will intensify in the coming weeks.
This flow will exploit a barometric gap over our seas, fueling a prolonged period of coolness and meteorological instability.
The expected conditions will be characterized by widespread rains and a high risk of intense thunderstorms, especially in Northern Italy and Central Italy.
The regions of Sicily and Sardinia could be hit by particularly intense meteorological phenomena, including strong winds and torrential rains. According to the main meteorological models, starting from mid-week, a second deep depression coming from the Atlantic will begin to influence our country, with a marked worsening of weather conditions and an even more pronounced thermal drop.
Temperatures could quickly drop even in the more southern regions, such as Calabria and Apulia, where the maximum values will not exceed 22°C. In the Alpine areas, the first snowfalls are expected at medium-high altitudes, a clear sign of the transition to the autumn season.
The coastal areas, on the other hand, could be subject to strong winds coming from the West, with gusts that could exceed 50 km/h.
The risk of extreme phenomena will therefore be high, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday.
