The hottest New Year in over 100 years. The North African anti-cyclone is the absolute protagonist, accompanied by an extremely mild air mass. According to Antonio Sanò, founder of the site ilmeteo.it, “scrolling rapidly through the annals of climatology, it is really difficult to find in the last 100 or 200 years a New Year’s Eve with such high thermal values at an altitude of 1500 meters: by convention, this altitude is referred to in order not to have the influence of thermal inversions and fogs in the valleys and on the plains and coasts and to have, all in all, a good representation of the atmosphere in a territory with a complex orography like the Italian one characterized by mountains, hills and valleys ».

In our country, the largest thermal anomaly is observed in the Alps, with temperatures even over 10 degrees above the norm and freezing temperatures close to 4000 meters above sea level in the western sector. «The highest temperature values - forecast the experts of the meteo.it site – will be reached above all on the Tyrrhenian side and on the major islands with peaks on spring levels, close to 20 degrees. The powerful anticyclone, in addition to keeping the disturbances at bay, will favor the formation and persistence of fogs or low clouds on the plains of the North and part of the Center. In these areas, unlike the sunny areas, daytime temperatures are destined to remain much lower ». Naturally these atmospheric stability conditions foreseen for several consecutive days will only facilitate the accumulation of pollutants in the lower atmospheric layers with consequent worsening of air quality, especially in the Po Valley.
“The current trend – reads the website – shows a possible subsidence of the high pressure starting from January 3 with consequent gradual downsizing of temperatures and probable transit of an Atlantic perturbation around Wednesday”, the eve of the Epiphany.
