The peak of the cold in Italy will be reached in the next 48 hours, but then everything will change. These are the forecasts from iLMeteo.it which talks about a further drop in temperatures at high altitude, especially on the Adriatic side, heavy frosts in the plains in the Centre-North and then a significant improvement from Sunday.
«In the next few hours - explains Antonio Sanò - we will once again have an Italy divided into 2 by the weather configuration which will see the passage of a mild Mediterranean cyclone over the southern regions and Sardinia. The last rains are expected in these areas, with snowfall in the Apennines. In the North, however, thanks to the attenuation of the wind, temperatures will remain low and frequent banks of fog will also form at night, with possible low clouds even during the day".
The passage of the Russian Arctic wave over the Balkans will cause a drop in temperatures on the entire Adriatic side. «Tomorrow morning we will find much more sun, practically almost everywhere with the exception of the Po Valley where fog and low clouds, together with frosts, will remind us of being in winter. In the Centre-South and in the mountains the sky will be blue, but the temperatures will be brisk. On Sunday, much if not everything will change: less cold westerly currents are expected which will bring the first rain showers on the Ligurian-Tyrrhenian side in the morning, then from the afternoon we will have some more widespread phenomena, again from Eastern Liguria to Calabria; it will be drizzle, but the sky will become gray on the western side. Temperatures will still remain cold in the North and on the Adriatic, but with the start of the new week the change will be completed with a general temperature increase and even with the return of temperatures decidedly above the average for the period: an abrupt stop to winter ».
