Weather Outlook for the Weekend

The weekend will begin with an unstable weather front moving into the Northern regions, bringing isolated thunderstorms primarily to the Alps, Northeast, and Apennine Ligurian areas, along with parts of Tuscany, Marche, and Romagna. Lombardy may also see some fitful showers, whereas the rest of the peninsula will remain relatively stable and enjoy rising temperatures, especially in the southern regions and on the major islands.

Southern Temperatures Soar

Northern areas will see mixed temperature conditions, with maximum values remaining steady or slightly declining, especially in storm-hit regions. In contrast, the South and islands will experience significant heat with a marked increase in daily highs.

The Influence of Southern Winds

Strong southerly winds will further boost temperatures in the south, particularly around the islands and the Tyrrhenian Sea. These winds can bring hot, dry air currents that intensify the heatwave effect, making it crucial for residents and visitors to stay hydrated and cautious of the elevated temperatures.

Sunday’s Evolving Weather Pattern

Sunday could see the extension of weekend storms, affecting parts of the Northeast and Emilia-Romagna, with central regions (except Abruzzo and Molise) potentially becoming involved. Thunderstorms are likely in Tuscany, Lazio, and the triveneto, with more occasional showers in the northwest plains. The South and Sicily will experience rising temperatures while areas affected by thunderstorms will see stationary or slightly dropping values.
