Weather Forecast for August 15th, 2024
The next few days will see increasingly intense heat in Italy, with temperatures soaring across the peninsula. However, by August 15th, the weather is expected to take a dramatic shift with the arrival of strong storms.
Current Conditions:
- A strong anticyclone of African origin is strengthening over Italy, leading to muggy and very hot conditions.
- Temperatures in the South have already reached 40 degrees Celsius, and the hot weather extends even to the Center-North.
Weather Trends:
- The aforementioned anticyclone is expected to persist through next week, bringing continued scorching heat, especially until the Ferragosto holiday on August 15th.
- High temperatures and abundant sunshine are forecast for the entire first half of August.
Peak Heat:
- The most intense phase of the heat is predicted to occur between Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th August, with temperatures potentially exceeding 40°C and peaks of 42-43°C in major islands.
Possible Change in Weather:
- After mid-August, there is a possibility of a drop in temperatures and the arrival of bad weather.
- Increased dynamism in the Atlantic and Northern European regions could trigger an atmospheric unblocking, leading to the convergence of different air masses.
- This convergence zone could bring violent hailstorms, flash floods, and other extreme weather events to parts of the Centre-North.
