Weather: CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR, check a Big News for the Holidays. Updates for the end of December
Weather trend for the end of December: lots of news on the wayThere is a big news in view of Christmas and New Year on the weather front!
This is what emerges from the study of the latest updates in view of the holidays and the end of December, a period for which an interesting atmospheric evolution is emerging.
It is confirmed therefore what we have been saying for some time now about a beginning of rather eventful and in some ways anomalous winter that certainly won’t make us bored.
But let’s go in order by analyzing all the details on temperatures and rainfall expected on Italy for the last part of this 2021.
A first breakthrough at the hemispheric level is expected in the course of next week when high pressure returns to the fore after many weeks of bad weather with rain and snow. A anomalous climatic phase precisely in a statistically cold period: if this were to be confirmed, a lot of conditions can be expected stable and sunny, with temperature in general increase and widely above the climatic averages. But as often happens in winter, anticyclone is not always synonymous with sun, indeed: on Northern regions in fact, the gray atmospheres could return due to persistent fog even during the day.
CHRISTMAS / NEW YEAR TREND. For the holiday season our attention is focused on the high arctic latitudes, between Scandinavia and Russia where, due to the particularly cold climatic conditions of these weeks, an impressive one was formed “icy lake“, filled with arctic air (very cold) that could slide towards Europe, thus starting a waves of frost that, many times, they could also invest our country.
At the moment, given the still rather high temporal distance, it is only a ‘hypothesis and as such it must be considered, but having said that, it must be said that for several days the main long-term international models lean towards this type of configuration.
The influx of freezing air from northeastern Europe (Russia) could favor, towards Christmas and for the end of December, the formation in the Mediterranean basin of cyclonic eddies continuously fed precisely by these cold currents, which would lead to one decidedly icy phase e dynamic, with the possibility of snow at very low altitude, locally up in flat land.
In the next days we will try to understand if this system will be confirmed or not. Further updates will follow.
