Rain is coming to Italy: Bad Weather on the Italian Peninsula, Where and When it will happen

Over the weekend, between Friday, Saturday and Sunday, bad weather will initially affect some areas in the North and then move on.

The very oppressive heat of these days will grant a short break in some regions of Italy due to the arrival of the bad weather. Incredible but true, a real truce is coming. An Atlantic cloud system is arriving from France. Over the weekend, between Friday, Saturday and Sunday, the bad weather will initially affect some areas in the North and then move and spread.

Initially, the bad weather will affect the Alpine and pre-Alpine areas, later extending to the Po Valley and the central regions, bringing rains and thunderstorms scattered throughout this first weekend of August. Bad news within the good news: temperatures will remain high, well above 35 degrees. Where could we see some rain?

Due to the arrival of cooler air from the Atlantic, Italy will see a decidedly more uncertain climate in the next few hours. There will be widespread rain and scattered thunderstorms especially in the Northern regionsand then extend to the centre.

Starting from Friday 2nd Augustafter a morning with cloudy skies, between late morning and early afternoon we will see the first weak showers or thunderstorms on the Alps and northern Apennines.

Moving on to Saturday 3rd August scattered rain is expected from the morning, also present as isolated thunderstorms, especially in Veneto and Emilia Romagna, as well as in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Thunderstorms are much more likely in the north-eastern Alps and in the central Apennines. Rain will also arrive during the day on the coasts of the Marche and from the afternoon on those of Abruzzo. Bad weather, with a wave of thunderstorms, will arrive from the afternoon, also reaching the inland areas of Campania and Puglia and the mountains of Sicily.

The temperatures will decrease slightly in the north but will generally be very high, with peaks of 40 degrees in Sardinia and values ​​well above 35 degrees in the rest of the country. The bad weather, unfortunately (you will say) will only be short-lived, quickly giving way to the extreme heat that is also characterizing this summer.

We may see the formation of some isolated thunderstorms on the central-southern Apennines, episodes that, however, will quickly end during the evening.
