Flames of heat and storm breaks: the weather of the week 21-27 June

“More and more extreme weather conditions await us. Over the next week we will have to deal with new heat waves arriving from North Africa with temperatures of over 35/40 ° C and the threat of dangerous storm breaks, especially on some corners of the ‘Italy”. This is what iLMeteo.it reports, which analyzes the latest updates of its official app with data from the European Center, tracing a trend until the end of June. “With the beginning of next week, over almost all of our country, from Monday 21 and at least until Wednesday 23, African high pressure will dominate: given the sub-tropical origin of the air masses, in addition to the abundant sun , we expect a further surge in temperatures, especially in the South and on the two major islands: this will likely translate into real flare-ups of heat, with the thermometers ready to splash diffusely up to 38/41 ° C – explains iLMeteo .it – ​​Slightly different speech in the North, where a flow of cooler and unstable currents connected to an Atlantic depression positioned between France and the United Kingdom will be able to break through the anticyclone, causing thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon hours. they will hit the Alps, then as the hours pass, they could extend to the nearby plains of Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto. Due to the high potential energy involved (humidity in the lower layers of the atmosphere) p ideal conditions would be created for the development of massive storm cells capable of unleashing sudden gusts of wind, storms and even hailstorms “.” Over the course of the following weekend (26/27 June) and in the last days of the month – he explains – the anticyclone should return to dictate the law over a large part of the country, driving increasingly hot air masses.The general trend is therefore still devoted to a great heat, with thermal values ​​above the climatic averages of several degrees: in short, the nightmare of the terrible summer of 2003 is more alive than ever. “
