Heat on the rise for this week with thunderstorms scattered over the weekend
and a probable second
even
more intense
heat wave
arriving
on May 17th
.
The forecasts are by Lorenzo Tedici, meteorologist of iLMeteo.it, who underlines how the heat could last for the whole month.
"It is not - he underlines - good news, in particular for
agriculture
which, after a dry winter, will have to deal with the high temperatures that will evaporate the little rainwater in recent weeks. A somewhat extreme picture, to blame of
climate change
, we pass from a dry winter to an anomalous summer-like phase ".
Only next weekend will we have scattered thunderstorms, more likely in the North and on Saturday when they could also be intense due to the heat accumulated in the Po Valley.
Immediately after the weekend, however, another
North African anticyclone,
the second, that of 17 May, could take over central Europe with maximum pressure on Germany where temperatures of 10-12 ° C above the averages for the period are expected.
The great anomalous heat, in addition to Italy, France and Germany, could also expand towards Poland and Denmark, making the Baltic Sea a seaside destination even in May.
It won't be strange to find a reindeer cooling off in the Finnish sea as it did in 2018.
