A fresh bout of bad weather is set to
hit Italy for four days starting on Tuesday with a new Atlantic
storm front fed by cold air across the Centre and part of the
North, said forecaster Lorenzo Tredici of the www.iLMeteo.it
website.
Tredici said Liguria and Tuscany will the first regions to be
hit by rain on Tuesday, followed in the evening by the Pianura
Padana area.
Meanwhile the weather will remain sunny in the rest of the
country with peaks in temperatures of 27-29°C in the South and
25°C in Rome.
On Wednesday, the bad weather front will progress to other areas
of central Italy and the North-East, in particular the Veneto
region, while the weather will remain sunny in southern Italy
with temperatures reaching peaks of 31°C in Bari, Catania and
Siracusa.
Intense rain and storms have also been forecast in the South on
Thursday, with the exception of Calabria and Sicily, said
Tredici.
Heavy rain Friday is expected to pummel the Emilia Romagna
region where a state of emergency was declared last month due to
floods caused by intense rain, as well as Friuli and most of the
Adriatic area, according to forecasts.
"The snow could fall on the Alps and northern Apennine Mountains
over 1,700-1,800 metres", said Tredici.
