when “the highlight” – Time

What weather awaits us at Easter? Do we also have to keep the umbrella handy together with the egg? Although experts specify that a correct forecast cannot be released so many days in advance, the first advances are starting to circulate. According to what we read above ilmeteo.it, “the transit of the insidious ‘Cyclone of the Colomba’ will adversely affect Holy Week on a meteorological level, causing many consequences”. What does it mean? We must expect “heavy rainfall, snow in the mountains and very strong winds along the coasts”.

It is nothing new that in the transition from one season to another there are sudden changes and transitions from cold to heat. This turbulent process is usually referred to by meteorologists as the “equinoctial cyclone”. As the site team explains, the term is not strictly academic, but is intended to be a full representation of “intense rainfall” and “lively winds”. This situation will occur shortly before Easter and Easter Monday. This is why the expression “Cyclone della Colomba” was chosen.

After a temporary return of the African anticyclone, “a powerful depression, driven by air masses of polar origin, will cause a drastic change in weather conditions at European level starting from Tuesday 26 March”. Therefore, between Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th March, we will enter the “highlight phase of the wave of bad weather”. What will be the most affected reasons? The experts say: “Those of the Centre-North and those of the southern Tyrrhenian side”.
