Weather, Algerian vortex towards Italy: sand and rain on the weekend

Algerian vortex with sand from the desert towards Italy, Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy comes to mind with the Weather of the Third Circle, that of the Gluttonous: “Large hail, tinted water and snow pours into the gloomy air (… ) “. So it is written in the work of the Supreme Poet, and dyed water could be the protagonist of the weekend with rains rich in Saharan dust arriving from Algeria. In addition to the tinted water, we could also have hail even if, at the moment, it is more probable that thunderstorms are only locally associated with small hailstorms; the phenomena of ‘large hail’ are in fact more frequent in summer. But we are already talking about Summer, the Sudden Summer, coming next week: after a disturbed weekend we will in fact have the quick comeback of an anticyclone that will even take energy from Mauritania, the distant land of the Mauri so called by the Romans in the 33 AD; the Romans called with the name Mauri all the native peoples of North Africa where they extended their Provinces of the great Empire. In practice, an anticyclone from Mauritania will swell up to reach most of south-western Europe, bringing the first 30/31 degrees muggy to the North and then also to the Center-South of Italy. In the meantime, however, Antonio Sanò, Director and Founder of the website www .iLMeteo.it, warns that we will have at least 72 hours of very unstable weather in Italy. Precipitation will move from the Center-North to the South and will also be locally intense, stormy and with hail. The next few hours will see the most intense phenomena between Emilia and Lower Piedmont as well as in Sardinia, but in this situation of scattered rainfall we can point out the possibility of showers over much of the country. Sicily, the weather will be governed by a phase of bad weather especially in the south; with the call of low pressure we will then have cooler northern unstable currents and storms towards the Center-North with very variable weather. Both Saturday and Mother’s Day therefore with the sun and the umbrella in the Center-North, while in the South almost only open umbrellas.The thermal context will instead remain waiting for the sudden turnaround, with an increase of even 10-12 ° C from Tuesday onwards: nothing exceptional, we will return to the averages of the period after a Spring that up to now has been decidedly chilly.To close with Dante Alighieri, we quote ‘And therefore we went out to see the stars again’ with the clear sky next week . IN DETAIL Friday 6. In the North: bad weather with rains and showers, locally persistent in Emilia and Lower Piedmont. In the Center: bad weather with widespread, intense rains in Sardinia. In the South: very unstable with possible rains everywhere. Saturday 7. In the North: unstable weather. Middle: unstable with scattered showers. In the South: unstable with widespread showers.
