Subtropical high pressure between Spain and England, large cold cyclone in action on the Balkans.
This will be the main meteorological scenario during the Easter period:
Italy will be in the middle and will be affected by intermediate conditions.
Andrea Garbinato, editorial manager of the iLMeteo.it site, explains what the fact of being halfway between high and low pressure will mean for Italy: with this configuration, our country "cold currents will continue to arrive (for the period) directly from northern Europe, in particular from the Teutonic-Scandinavian area. The polar extraction currents, colliding with the air that is starting to be warmed by the spring sun, will cause cold nights, but also frequent downpours during the central hours of
the
day
".
The descent of these Teutonic-Scandinavian air masses will cause, among other things, the formation of a cyclone on the Ligurian Sea from Friday, with a rapid deterioration between the
North-West and Tuscany and Umbria
;
later this small cyclone will bring rain to all
of the Center
and part of the South
on Saturday.
This first meteorological information draws a bad picture for the next few days, but it is not like this:
there will be large clearings and totally sunny moments, especially in the morning
;
the maximum temperatures will then tend to rise in the coming days thanks to the greater sunshine also in the South.
In summary
, the eventful forecasts up to Easter Monday
are these: in the next few hours we will have a prevalence of sunshine over a large part of the boot, with some residual rain only in the extreme south. On Friday, as mentioned, low pressure will form on the Ligurian Sea and rains and showers are expected between the North-West and Tuscany;
in the South and in the rest of the Center we will find a prevalence of sunshine after a chilly dawn.
The low pressure minimum will then slide on Saturday towards the rest of the Center and towards the South, bringing
widespread and locally persistent rains, especially between Umbria, Lazio and Campania.
Holy
Easter will still be uncertain in the South with some rain, more likely between Puglia and Calabria
;
elsewhere clear spells will prevail in the morning and we could have some afternoon thunderstorms over the
Triveneto
and close to the Apennine ridge.
Easter Monday
will be beautiful in the morning, then after the classic Pic-Nic (or during?)
we pay attention
to the frequent flowering of cauliflowers, as cumulonimbus clouds are called in jargon: these cauliflower-shaped clouds will be associated with
short, but locally
intense
thunderstorms .
Storm phenomena will be
more probable in the Centre-South
, moving from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian regions.
A forecast, which summarized to the fullest, could look like this:
bad Saturday in the center, Sunday and Easter Monday with sun in the morning and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
