Weather: cyclone Poppea ready for impact, it risks being as powerful as Storm Vaia, it is an alarm
But the analogies do not end here: on that occasion the atmospheric pressure collapsed to 978 millibars, while Cyclone Poppea could deepen up to 984/986 millibars. Finally, it should not be underestimated eitherthen from the sea exceptional expected in Venice and Chioggia up to 160 cm (according to the latest updates): in 2018, during the Vaia storm, 156 cm were recorded.
I mistral winds they will break in from the first hours of the deterioration across the Gulf of Lion lashing the coasts of Sardinia, with gusts up to 110/120km/h, but also over 130/140km/h in the open sea, while on the Tyrrhenian Sea the currents will tend to veer from the south-western quadrants (Libeccio-West) and which will threaten all the coasts of Lazio, Campania, Calabria And Sicily northern, also here with gusts up to 80/90 km/hlocally to 110/120 km/h in the open sea.
A real “sunset storm” on the Liguriawith tips of 100/110 km/h along the coasts of Savonese and Genoese, even beyond 130 km/h on the ridges.
In Adriatic will instead be the Scirocco wind to expire from the south-eastern quadrants reaching exceptional values up to 110/130 km/h along the coasts of the former Yugoslavia, over i 60/80 km/h I am Puglia, Molise, Abruzzo, Brands, Emilia Romagna And Veneto.
But that’s not all: from Friuli Venezia Giulia will start to activate “cold” bora with gusts at 100/110 km/h along the Friulian coasts, extending towards the Veneto.
Therefore, we can say that the entire Italian territory will be at the mercy of stormy winds with cyclonic rotation (ie counterclockwise).
The clash of the winds myths of Scirocco rising from the lower Adriatic and the cold Bora being activated on Friuli, they could cause the triggering of a real one area of convergence to the Northeast. This is why we cannot exclude a resurgence of storm phenomena right on the Triveneto, even with accumulations of more than 100mm (100 liters of water per square metre), with a high hydro-geological risk.
From the afternoon/evening of Tuesday 22 Novemberinstead, attention will be paid to a real vortex forming on the Po Delta, a sort of “crazed top“Yup 984 millibars which could cause not only heavy rains and thunderstorms, but also a medium wind as far as 80/90 km/h And gusts as far as 130/140 km/h.
The areas most at risk at this juncture, they will be those of the lower Venetoall the Romagna coast, with local overruns up to Conero promontory (Ancona).
Finally, the vortex should then head towards the open sea, leaving room for a significant attenuation of the dangerous winds along the coast.
Maximum attention must therefore be paid to the entire day of Tuesday 22 Novemberwhich will have all the characteristics of a real one autumn storm.
