After a few days of anticipated heat thanks to a powerful anticyclone, the weather changes course just before the May Day Bridge. The high-pressure system begins to weaken from the north, where intense storms are expected in the coming hours, especially in mountainous areas. Temperatures will begin a gradual drop that will first be noticeable in the north of the country.
The Grecale activates unstable mode: how cold wind reshapes the weather map 🌬️
The change is due to the arrival of fresh winds from the Grecale, which will push cold air from the Balkans. This flow creates a thermal contrast with the residual heat of the anticyclone, causing instability. For Wednesday and Thursday, the north will continue under scattered rain, while the rest of Italy will experience a general drop in maximum temperatures. The system behaves like a classic cold front sweeping away accumulated heat.
The anticyclone goes on holiday: goodbye sun, hello last-minute umbrella ☂️
Just when you had your towel and bikini ready for the bridge, the anticyclone decides to pack its bags and leave. The north turns into a cold shower with thunder, and the rest of the country receives a temperature drop that will make you wonder if it wouldn't be better to stay home watching series. At least the Grecale has the courtesy to bring fresh wind, not just rain. Plan the bridge with a jacket, because the sun asked for time off.
