first thunderstorms then North African heat –

Easter day is approaching and everyone is wondering what weather to expect. Usually it is one of the holidays most at risk of bad weather, perhaps due to the unpredictability of the spring season. Will it be like this once more this year? The team at has taken care of answering these questions 3bmeteo.com. “Holy Week will be characterized by the presence of a deep Atlantic trough over Western Europe which will begin to be felt as early as the Palm Sunday weekend with the first unstable passages”, the experts state, who then explain: “According to the models, however, the Anglo-Saxon vortex will give its best, or its worst, if you prefer, only from the beginning of Easter week”.

A disturbance will reach Italy “between Monday evening and Tuesday” which promises to be “unstable” and at times “disturbed with showers, thunderstorms and strong winds”. However, “the sirocco call will temporarily increase temperatures especially in the South”. Between Wednesday and Thursday there might be a new wave of “bad weather with rain, thunderstorms and strong winds”. But let’s get to the holidays. According to the models, an “Atlantic depression over the UK but with a more westerly position than continental Europe” might persist. What does Italy have to do with it? Experts anticipate that “the vortex might trigger a North African warm recall with a prevailing anticyclonic matrix over Italy”. In any case, “wet and unstable infiltrations” might reach part of Italy.
