Easter and Easter Monday with the sun but with the wind and colder

Easter holidays with prevailing sun, but with wind and colder. The iLMeteo.it team had already identified 3 main meteorological figures at the beginning of the week: the North African anticyclone, a vortex arriving from Algeria and a descent of cold air from Scandinavia. The mix between these ingredients was still uncertain, but in general we expected an Easter period characterized by prevailing sunny conditions. The trend was confirmed at 90%, the only unexpected note at the beginning of the week was the sharp drop in temperatures expected for Easter. To date, net of subsequent refinements in the forecast, between Saturday and Sunday we could see a drop of 10 ° C over a large part of Italy, especially in the maximum values ​​that from 25 ° C would return to around the 15 ° C line. On Easter Monday it will be sunny everywhere. It would seem great news as it is ‘common thought’ that it always rains. At the end, however, it appears from the statistics that, as regards the last 10 years, it is not correct to say that it always rains on Easter Monday: half of the last 10 Easter Mondays have been sunny and spring and only 3 definitely rainy. he year will be a little more variable: we expect good weather in the Center-North, while in the South there could also be some locally intense showers between Sicily and Calabria. The protagonist will then be the wind that will help to perceive colder temperatures. Antonio Sanò, director and founder of iLMeteo.it, confirms that, after a summer-like interlude and maximum temperatures up to 27 ° C, we will have a sharp drop in temperatures in the Easter period, albeit with a prevalence of sunshine. In the next few hours we will reach the peak of the heat with typical values ​​of May, then gradually from Easter the temperatures will return to around the March averages: a step back of 2 months Today Friday 15 – In the north: sunny except for rising clouds on the Triveneto with evening showers over the Alps.
