Italy is set for its warmest
Christmas in 50 years, a top meteorologist said Thursday.
The centre and south of he peninsula as well as Sicily and
Sardinia may well see temperatures rising above records set at
Christmas 2009 in Pescara with 24°C, Catania 22°, Bari 21° and
Roma 20°C, said Andrea Garbinato at www.iLMeteo.it..
New Xmas highs may also be seen in Palermo, whose record of 22°C
dates back to the early 1970s, and Bologna whose 20°C is from
the same era, said Garbinato.
An African anti-cyclone will strengthen over the next few days
and bring balmy conditions to the centre and south lasting as
long as 10 days, while the Po valley and other parts of the
north will have overcast conditions with patchy showers,
Garbinato said.
