Winter in Italy alternates between arctic cold and rain, here it is: the weather forecast

Falling temperatures and rain in half of Italy. After many days of sunshine and pleasant climate, here comes the severe weather with Atlantic disturbances that will bring a winter-like change to the country from the weekend. Here he is expert weather forecast for todayFriday November 14, and for the days to come.

The weather is getting worse, experts say

Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist at iLMeteo.it, confirmed the worsening of weather conditions after a long period of time that was too cool for the season. There will be two impulse disturbances that will affect Italy: the first will affect us on Saturday November 15 with rain especially in Liguria, Piedmont and Lombardy; rainfall then also extended to Triveneto and upper Tuscany between the afternoon and evening.

In contrast, other areas in the Center, in the South and on the two large islands are sunnier with temperatures even increasing slightly here due to strengthening winds from the southern quadrant. In Palermo and Cagliari temperatures can reach 24-25°C during the midday hours.

Passage of the second and more substantial unstable impulse is expected on Sunday November 16. Atlantic disturbances will hit Italy, causing more pronounced changes in atmospheric conditions.

Bad weather will hit again, especially the northern regions and Tuscany with heavy rain which will make the atmosphere typical of autumn. Be careful because in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Liguria and Versilia we do not rule out the possibility of a real storm as there is still a lot of potential energy at play.

A decisive turning point at European level is expected next week. Between Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th November the first signs of change will be felt, with the passage of a whirlpool in the Mediterranean that will bring heavy rains to much of the South-Central region.

Starting Thursday, November 20, real changes will begin at the hemisphere level: the first real blast of arctic air will give rise to a much colder climate.

In all cases, this will be a winter-style configuration, with cold air of arctic origin descending from Northern Europe into the Mediterranean. In this scenario, it is reasonable to expect a sharp drop in temperatures, with below-average values, especially in the North and Central regions. Cold currents incoming from the Rhone Gate could also favor the formation of new gyres in our seas, capable of bringing heavy rainfall and snowfall to low altitudes.
