From Tuesday, September 22nd, cold currents from the Balkans will sweep across Italy, with temperatures dropping below seasonal averages, especially on the Adriatic side.
Summer gives way to autumn with a significant temperature drop heading for Italy. Between Tuesday, September 22nd, and Thursday, September 24th, colder air currents from the Balkans and eastern European sectors will sweep across the peninsula, bringing a temperature decrease of up to 8°C compared to early-week values.
The regions most affected will be the eastern ones, particularly the Northeast and the Adriatic side, where highs could drop locally by 5-7 degrees, falling towards 22-25°C. The change will be accompanied by cool north-northeasterly winds and an unstable phase in the far South, with possible showers or thunderstorms in Calabria and Sicily.
The peak of the cold is expected mid-week, coinciding with the autumn equinox, with minimum temperatures often dropping below 15°C. This cooling phase will be temporary: a temperature rise is already forecast from Thursday, followed, however, by the arrival of a new disturbance with rain and thunderstorms.
The change in weather pattern comes after a prolonged period of above-average temperatures, with an 'encroaching' summer that persisted until the very last astronomical day. Italy lies on the eastern edge of a robust Azores high-pressure system, which has so far ensured stable and dry weather across most of the country.
The situation has changed because colder air masses, originating from northern and eastern latitudes, have begun sliding toward the Balkans, grazing our country. This phenomenon is typical of the transition period between summer and autumn, when temperature contrasts between different air masses become more pronounced.
The result is a significant but uneven temperature drop: while the Adriatic and eastern regions will be more exposed to the cold currents, the Tyrrhenian and northwestern sectors will remain more sheltered. This first cold impulse does not yet mark the stable arrival of autumn, but rather represents a temporary break destined to be followed by further variations, with a new disturbance already arriving in the latter part of Thursday.
