Strong wind alert on Tuesday in the Center-South, then the sunny October weather arrives.

On Tuesday, October 13th, a wave of strong wind gusts will affect several regions of Central and Southern Italy. Gusts may exceed 50 km/h in Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia, Campania, Calabria, and in the northern and eastern sectors of Sicily, with peaks even exceeding 60 km/h in Salento. Local storm surges are not ruled out along these coastlines.

This windy and unstable phase, following the bad weather of recent days, is however destined to subside during the course of the day. Starting from Wednesday, October 14th, the advance of a high-pressure system will ensure a decisive atmospheric stabilization, with clear skies over much of the country and a gradual increase in temperatures, reaching pleasant values for the period.

The current weather situation is the evolution of a period of bad weather that affected the country in recent days, bringing rain and showers. The cause of the imminent strengthening of the wind is a vortex moving towards the southeastern sector of the Mediterranean. This low-pressure system, typical of the autumn period, generates strong atmospheric pressure gradients, from which intense winds originate, especially in exposed regions.

However, this windy phenomenon is the final act of a period of instability. The vortex, in fact, will pave the way for the arrival of an ocean-origin anticyclone, a high-pressure area that, expanding from Western Europe over the Mediterranean, will ensure stable weather. The arrival of this anticyclone marks the transition to the so-called 'ottobrata', an autumn period characterized by mild and sunny days, typical especially of Central Italy. The fair weather phase should last at least until Friday, October 16, before a possible weakening of the high pressure over the weekend.
