The Easter week-end in Italy
will not be blessed with fine weather this year though sunny
skies will prevail until the Way of the Cross ceremony on Good
Friday, meteorologists predicted Tuesday.
"It will be spring until Friday with prevalence of
beautiful weather," said weatherman Edoardo Ferrara from
3bmeteo.com.
"Then there will be a worsening of the weather with the
temperature falling for Easter".
Bad weather from the Atlantic will cover the Alps on
Italy's northern frontiers with cloud from the end of the week,
leading to some rain and snowfalls with gusting winds of over
100 kph in areas above 2,000 M over sea-level, said Ferrara.
Strong Mistral winds also will sweep the Tyrrenhian sea and
the main Italian islands, especially Sardinia, he added.
"For Easter the prognosis remains very uncertain, but it
seems that we will be hit by a strong storm descending from
north Europe with a quick sweep of rain and downpour from north
to south together with a falol in temperature due to cold air
entering from the North".
"Already by Easter Monday the weather ought to be improved
in the centre north, still uncertain in the South. It is however
a very delicate situation that necessitates further confirmation
and updating," the meteorologist said.
