Temperatures in Italy are set to
fall from Tuesday evening as cold winds arrive from Russia
bringing rain and snow to mountainous regions, weather experts
said.
Brighter weather is then due to return from Friday, with
Palm Sunday expected to be sunny.
"Colder winds from Russia will bring the winter back to
Italy, particularly in the North," said 3bmeteo.com
meteorologist Edoardo Ferrara.
He added rain showers expected in the north-eastern regions
first are likely to spread to the north-western areas.
Some light snow and sleet are also due to fall in northern
areas including around Turin, Ferrara said.
Between Thursday and Friday some rain showers are expected
in central and southern regions, with strong rainfall forecast
in Basilicata and Calabria.
The bad weather is set to clear up during Friday, making
way for a sunny weekend.
Website Meteo.it said dryer weather was due at the weekend,
as well as rising temperatures, which could reach more than 15
degrees Celsius, with peaks of 20 degrees Celsius in Sicily.
Nevertheless, some bad weather may return in the Easter
week, as a low pressure area moves down from northern Europe,
according to 3bmeteo.com.
