After the cyclone that will rapidly cross Italy around the middle of the month, the atmospheric pressure on our country will increase again and, consequently, the Atlantic gate, the one from which all the disturbed fronts capable of unleashing precipitation arrive, will seem close, almost inexorably armour, precisely because of an anti-cyclonic intrusiveness to which we are now accustomed and which also characterized a large part of the last winter season.
But be careful: the period we are going through is typically favorable to strong contrasts between different air masses which, right on the Mediterranean basin, find their perfect battlefield: on one side the cold currents descending from Northern Europe, on the other, the first warm thrusts of the anticyclone.
L’Italiain these configurations, is often found in the “Middle Earth“, somehow protected by the anticyclonic loopbut not entirely and not always.
There will be disturbing elements, and how. From the latest updates, for example, it clearly emerges how, right around theSpring equinox (this year it will happen Monday 20 March) the unstable flow downhill from the North Atlantic will take effect.
The map below shows just this second attempt at change, which will essentially follow the path of the previous disruptions, with disturbed North Atlantic lunges, fueled by an Icelandic vortex descending towards the UK, France and even the Mediterranean: we have called it “equinoctial storm“, mostly for a time issue, as it is expected between the end of the winter season and the beginning of the spring one.
If the beginning of April could still be affected by this depression gap, despite, we always remember, we are only in the presence of long-term projections (however sensational), not useful for planning one’s daily life, it seems all the more so too soon to make a valid evaluation for the holidays of Easter.
We will certainly update on this issue in the coming days.
