Looking at the last days of the year, the weather scenario seems to be heading towards a phase of high pressure, although not particularly marked nor characterized by abnormal temperatures.
This implies stable weather, without extremes, ideal for the end-of-year festivities.
Temperatures will clearly rise by several degrees compared to the cold weather of the previous days. Thermal values will remain mostly in line with the seasonal norm, with possible slight increases above the average.
In the plains areas, especially in Northern Italy, the return of dense fog is expected, a classic winter phenomenon in the presence of the anticyclone.
On the contrary, in the mountainous areas, no significant temperature variations are expected: the weather will be stable and devoid of those rises typical of periods dominated by the anticyclone.
This is therefore a very different scenario from what we have come to know in recent winters, with high pressures from the warm core capable of bringing truly abnormal temperatures especially on the heights.
General anticyclonic dominance around New Year’s Eve
A possible baric weakness between Greece and North Africa could determine modest repercussions on the regions of Southern Italy, with episodes of slight instability.
However, these phenomena will be marginal and will not compromise the general atmospheric stability.
The general stability scenario seems to be confirmed for New Year’s Eve, apart from some possible threats in the North linked to humid Atlantic infiltrations. Looking beyond New Year’s Eve, the weather projections for the beginning of 2025 indicate a persistence of the anticyclone, which could guarantee stable conditions at least until January 6, the day of the Epiphany.
The first week of the year therefore promises to be calm, without significant meteorological events.
Temperatures will continue to oscillate around the seasonal average, without significant deviations. The end of the year and the first days of 2025 therefore seem to confirm an anticyclonic dominance.
This will guarantee static weather, without extreme episodes or particularly eventful situations on the meteorological front.
