Italy will enjoy a warm and sunny
spell of weather until Labour Day on Sunday May 1 when cooler
air and a North African vortex will bring temperatures down,
forecasters said Wednesday.
The high-pressure zone currently over Italy will spell a few
days of steadily warm weather, with sun returning to the north
of the country too, they said.
At the end of April, they observed, the sun sets after 19:30 on
all Italian cities and there will therefore be more time to heat
up the atmosphere.
Over the next few days, forecasters said, temperatures will rise
in much of the country, both highs and lows, thanks to the
sunnier conditions.
Temperatures in the north, however, will still be slightly below
seasonal averages, while they will be slightly above in the
south.
In the Po Valley, daytime temps could go as high as 24°C, as
well as in Pavia, Milan, Mantua, and a few degrees higher in the
valleys of Alto Adige, such as Bolzano, where the mercury may
rise to 26°C.
It will be the same in central Tyrrhenian regions where
Florence and Rome will touch 25°C, while it will be less hot on
the Adriatic coasts which will be hit by cooler winds from the
Balkans.
Temperatures will be slightly above average in the south where
they will reach 25°C in Sicily, much of Puglia, the Ionian
coasts of Basilicata and northern Campania.
