Weekend between sun and some thunderstorms: here’s where

A sunny weekend but also a few thunderstorms in Italy. The upcoming weekend will see the return to the Italian scene of the high pressure of the Azores, the great absentee of the Italian summer. Its advance towards Italy will be gradual so that some areas of the South will still be affected by a certain atmospheric instability. Antonio Sanò, director and founder of iLMeteo.it warns that after a largely sunny Friday except for more cloudiness in the south, some rains or even thunderstorms will arrive on northern Sardinia on Saturday, while the rest of the country will be dominated by the sun. , even if it will be less present in the South where the clouds will be spread. On Sunday, while in Sardinia the weather will definitely improve, it will worsen instead in Sicily reached by showers and also some thunderstorms that could also expand to nearby Calabria (especially on Reggio) and affect some parts of central-southern Puglia. On the rest of the regions, the high pressure of the Azores will have further strengthened, laying the foundations for the arrival of the October, expected next week. The October, meteorologically speaking, is a period characterized by atmospheric stability, by a decidedly sunny and mild climate during the day and cooler at night. Its origin derives from the Roman tradition of making trips out of town (on Thursdays and Sundays) to celebrate the end of the harvest, hence the term “Roman october”.
