The models had predicted its arrival. As the hours passed, only confirmation arrived: given the time lag, we'll have to wait for a precise picture. However, the hypothesis is gaining ground that between Monday and Tuesday, a violent disturbance will rage across eastern Sardinia, Sicily, and the Tyrrhenian peninsular regions, bringing sirocco winds—which could reach storm-force levels—and very heavy rain.
Let's be clear: the trajectories could change in the next few hours, but the opinions of numerous experts converge and speak of phenomena that must be observed very carefully.
Concerns are linked to the descent of a deep polar trough toward the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa, which will bring progressive cloud cover starting this weekend. The sirocco will then dominate the scene, with the formation of a cyclone over North Africa and then pushing into the Mediterranean: strong storm surges on the most exposed coasts and torrential rain are possible.
To analyze the intensity and precise trajectories, however, we need to wait.
