Severe Weather Conditions Continue in Italy and Europe (2024)

Bad weather continues in Italy. Or at least, in part. Currently, in fact, the northern regions are being crossed by masses of cool and unstable air driven by a deep cyclonic vortex located in Scandinavia, while the South and much of the Center are under a warm anticyclonic cover of African origin. The Azores anticyclone continues to maintain a position clearly unfavorable to the arrival of summer in central western Europe and the north of our country, thus bringing strong thunderstorms with downpours and hailstorms. Throughout today, the risk will be high in many areas of the North, with accumulations that between Lombardy and Triveneto could exceed the threshold of 80/100mm in 24 hours. Then, however, on Thursday, it will also affect the Center.

Bad weather, yellow alert in five regions: from Lombardy to Veneto, here's where and what the risks are

The situation in Europe

The situation in Italy is common to many European countries. As reported by 3BMeteo, in the United Kingdom it is as cold as winter and temperatures are below average also in France, Germany, and southern Scandinavia. A very unusual fact for June that also severely penalizes our northern regions particularly exposed to high thermal contrasts given a warmer air mass of African origin flowing over the Mediterranean. These are all ingredients for having strong thunderstorms with downpours and hailstorms. From tonight until all of Wednesday, the risk will be high in many areas of the North with accumulations that between Lombardy and Triveneto could exceed the threshold of 80/100mm in 24 hours, then on Thursday it will also affect the Center. In a strong position, the South benefits from a wide warm anticyclonic circulation with temperatures like late July. Let's see what is expected until Friday.

Weather alert today in five regions

Due to adverse weather conditions, the civil protection department in agreement with the regions involved has issued some weather alert warnings for today, Wednesday, June 12. Many regions are involved: orange alert for thunderstorm risk in parts of Lombardy; yellow alert in parts of Piedmont, Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Alto Adige, Friuli Venezia Giulia, and Umbria.

Wednesday 12, the forecasts

Today, the North will be unstable from the morning on eastern Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia, and Triveneto with the possibility of showers and local thunderstorms, with more openings in Piedmont. In the afternoon, the instability will intensify almost everywhere with showers and strong thunderstorms locally accompanied by hail. Phenomena still locally strong also in the evening and at night especially between Lombardy, Emilia, and Triveneto. In the Center, a generally stable day with the only exception of some locally strong but isolated thunderstorms developing in the central hours between inland Tuscany, Umbria, and Marche. South, high to medium clouds between Sicily and the extreme South, locally in Sardinia but without notable phenomena. Sunny elsewhere. Temperatures dropping in the north, stable elsewhere. Moderate western or southern winds. Seas rough or locally very rough.

Thursday 13, the forecasts

In the North, still occasionally unstable day between eastern Liguria, Lombardy, Emilia Romagna, and Triveneto with the possibility of showers and thunderstorms, more persistent and locally strong in the afternoon. Wide openings in the Northwest with only isolated phenomena. Improving everywhere from the evening. In the Center, irregular cloudiness in the morning but with very isolated phenomena. Afternoon with widespread thunderstorms also of strong intensity and with hail between inland Tuscany, inland Lazio, Umbria, Marche, and Abruzzo. On the Adriatic, thunderstorms can easily reach the coast. Improving from the evening. In the South, generally sunny except for some isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorms between Molise and Puglia. Temperatures dropping also in the Center. Moderate western or northwestern winds. Seas rough or locally very rough.

Friday 14, the forecasts

On Friday, in the North, a stable and mostly sunny day on the coasts and plains. Some scattered clouds on the alpine and pre-alpine sectors, more widespread in the afternoon but associated with completely sporadic phenomena. In the Center, stable and sunny weather with some low clouds in the morning along the Tuscan coasts. In the South, generally stable and widely sunny weather. Temperatures dropping also in the South. Moderate northwestern winds. Seas rough or locally very rough.
