The last few days of hot weather; from Wednesday, rain and a drop in temperatures

The change is expected on Wednesday 9th, but in the northern regions the first signs of the change could arrive as early as Tuesday, with lower temperatures and unsettled weather across the Alpine regions, particularly Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto

The last few days of intense heat. Monday and Tuesday could be the last days with above-average temperatures, and cooler air and rain are expected from Wednesday.

Substantial change

“A substantial change is on the horizon compared with what we have seen so far,” notes Bernado Gozzini, director of the Lamma Consortium at the National Research Council.

Whilst long-term forecasts are impossible and the end of September may hold a few surprises, one thing is certain: ‘the end of a long summer’ is now imminent.

Weather system from the Atlantic

This is being caused by ‘greater atmospheric circulation’ due to the arrival of a weather system from the Atlantic: a low-pressure system that will initially reach Great Britain and France and then move on to Italia, where a sharp drop in temperature is expected.

Possible unsettled weather from as early as Tuesday

The change is expected on Wednesday 9th, but in the northern regions the first signs of the change could arrive as early as Tuesday, with lower temperatures and unsettled weather over the Alpine regions, particularly Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto.

On Wednesday 9th, unsettled weather will spread to all regions of central and northern Italy, from Lazio northwards. The mass of cold air at high altitude will clash with the warm air that has built up so far, leading to rainfall. ‘Intense thunderstorms are therefore expected, and gusts of wind and hailstorms cannot be ruled out: it will be a situation,’ says Gozzini, ‘that needs to be monitored in each region’.

From Thursday, unsettled weather is also expected in the South

On Thursday 10th, the weather system is also expected to affect all the regions along the Tyrrhenian coast and in the south, particularly in Sicily, Campania, Puglia and Calabria; the bad weather will also persist in central Italy, in Lazio, Tuscany and the Marche, whilst Piedmont and Lombardy will see a bit of sunshine. Residual thunderstorms are forecast for Friday and over the coming weekend, again in the south, in Puglia, Calabria and Basilicata. “This significant change could last until mid-September, but what happens after that remains to be seen,” adds Gozzini.
