The great heat is about to give way to cooler air. And from the early hours of tomorrow, Monday, August 16, scattered rainfall is expected, even as a downpour or thunderstorm, on Piedmont e Lombardy, in extension to Veneto e Friuli Venezia Giulia, especially on the respective northern sectors. The Civil Protection foresees phenomena accompanied by strong showers, local hailstorms, frequent electrical activity and strong gusts of wind. Evaluated for tomorrow yellow alert for thunderstorm risk on Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and most of Lombardy and Piedmont. Meanwhile in Alto Adige a landslide, caused by a violent storm with hail, overwhelmed a farmer: the man ended up under a mudslide that broke away from the Rio di Pran (Brandbach) in the area of Lake Valdurna (Durnholz) , an area very popular with tourists. He was resuscitated, but died in the hospital in Bolzano.
Experts from ilMeteo.it they speak of a “retreating African anticyclone” and predict a drop in temperatures of up to 12 ° C, in the aftermath of the hot Sunday of August. The most evident change on the climate front will be recorded between the days of Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18 when the African hot air bubble will suddenly deflate threatened by even cooler air ready to cause a net and decided thermal drop first in the Center-North and later also in the South. By Wednesday evening temperatures, especially in the North, could lose several degrees up to 10-12 ° C thus giving us a decidedly less hot climate, with a much healthier and more pleasant air quality.
Monday 16th August
The Alps and Prealps will be the scene of some thunderstorms also strong ones that will hit above all the Lombard reliefs and the Trentino Alto Adige to then move towards the heights of the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. Here the storm interference could also cross over to the high plain areas also accompanied by local hailstorms and strong gusts of wind. Temperatures will then begin to drop a little in the North while the sun and heat will still envelop the rest of the country.
Tuesday 17th August
Another step towards a decidedly less hot weather-climate context in the Center-North. The storm activity will limit itself to affecting only some areas of theEmilia Romagna and the Umbrian-Marche Apennine sector, while a reinforcement of the winds of Mistral will put an end to the great heat which will limit itself to resisting only on some stretches of the South where the meteorological situation will in any case change the next day.
Wednesday 18th August
While everything will be quiet in the Center-North, there will be room for some strong storms also on Campania e Basilicata especially close to the Apennine ridge. All this will obviously be accompanied by a general thermal drop albeit more contained than the rest of the country.
