A cold front from Scandinavia
and Siberia are set to bring freezing weather and possibly snow
to Italy at the weekend, weather forecasters said on Wednesday.
The cold air will worsen weather in the Adriatic regions
and the south of the country and will be accompanied by rain
which could also turn to light snow showers.
"We will probably reach the peak of this cold wave between
Sunday and the start of next week," forecasters from the Epson
Meteo centre said.
They said snow may fall along the Adriatic coast and in the
hilly areas of the south.
They added that temperatures could drop up to 15 degrees
Celsius from relatively mild levels in the central and southern
regions and about 10 degrees in northern regions.
Minimum temperatures would fall below zero, particularly in
the north, between Sunday and Tuesday.
