Rain and hail in the north, hot in the south: Italy weather forecast

The rain returns with the risk of hail, with a worsening of the weather in Italy which fits into the variegated picture of Europe. The north-western sector has been hit for days by cyclone Peggy, in Italy for now there is a tail of summer with 37-38 ° C in the south and 33 ° C also in Rome. In Eastern Europe, on the other hand, it seems to be already in November with highs of 10 ° C in Moscow and anomalies of -8 / -9 ° C compared to the climate of the period, from Poland to Ukraine. In this context, the Italian weather in the coming days will be governed by the ‘lazy decision’ of the Irish cyclone (Peggy) to move east: after almost a week the minimum of low pressure will move very slowly towards Denmark, following the lowering of the Current. in Getto up to the alpine regions. The Jet Current, that is the wind at about 10,000 meters above sea level, will therefore favor a significant deterioration in Northern Italy with thunderstorms and hail risk. We will also have an intensification of the wind on the ground in particular between Liguria, Tuscany and the Apennine regions between Thursday evening and Friday. rapid deterioration also in the Center and, in places, in the South. In summary, the lowering of the latitude of the Jet Current and the transit of Cyclone Peggy over Northern Europe will slightly move the weather situation in our country: they are expected in the next few hours some showers on the Alps and Prealps on a local descent towards the adjacent plains, the passage of the front on Thursday with thunderstorms in the Center-North moving from West to East and a strong wind at times; a gradual improvement will follow from Friday but with a western breeze at times still sustained. And what will the weekend be like? At the moment the forecast indicates a mostly sunny weekend; but in recent days in some areas, our country is also experiencing a month of September typical of a mid-season (i.e. a mid-season between summer and autumn): mid-season means that suddenly a thunderstorm could arrive on Saturday that Sunday, with the possibility of short-term phenomena. The heat in the extreme South has been lasting for days and could see a new and further African intensification from next week: the mid-seasons have not yet arrived in the extreme South. : Wednesday 7 September In the north: pressure decreases, after a sunnier morning it gets worse with thunderstorms on the Alps, Prealps and then flat areas, first in the west then also in the east.
