Weekend with lots of rain, strong winds and thunderstorms: here’s where

Weekend marked by bad weather in Italy for a new Mediterranean vortex that will approach Sardinia in the coming days. Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist of the site www.iLMeteo.it announces that the day of Saturday 6 November will pass under the banner of general conditions of marked instability in Sardinia and in most of the central and southern regions; the strongest precipitations are expected on the island and on central-northern Lazio, also in the form of local storms. The vortex located near Sardinia will also activate intense southern winds on the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, with gusts exceeding 70 km / h and storm surges along the most exposed coasts. Things will go differently in the North where a timid recovery of high pressure will guarantee drier and sunnier weather even if the colder northeastern winds will cause a significant drop in night temperatures which, especially in the plains of Lombardy and Piedmont, can reach zero degrees. in the open countryside. On Sunday the weather will tend to improve temporarily with very little rain and a very cloudy or even overcast sky over many regions. The dry break will be really short as already in the evening hours the rains will begin to wet again not only Sardinia, but this time also Liguria.
