The “anticyclonic monster” in Europe is on its last legs. From the weekend, in fact, “everything will change”. This was anticipated by Andrea Garbinato of the website ilmeteo.it, reporting that the anomalous heat is confirmed throughout Europe in these hours, with warmer temperatures everywhere except in Greece, Turkey and Russia, even with +13 degrees compared to the average in Scandinavia and in Scotland. Starting from Sunday, however, “thermal values will begin to drop on the eastern side of the continent and in the central areas”. The heat bubble “will only resist between the British Isles and the Arctic areas. In this slow thermal movement, the eastern flank of Europe will therefore give way to the armies of General Winter: from Tuesday 12 November the entire sector between Poland, Germany and France and Northern Italy will feel the continental arctic breath with a sharp drop in temperatures.”
As for next week, however, “maximums of 7°C are expected in Turin, 8-9°C in Milan and Bologna, 12°C in Genoa, 13-14°C in Florence and Rome, 16°C in Naples and 19°C in Palermo”. In Italy, the expert explained, “we will not enter a harsh winter phase, but rather we will experience a ‘normally autumnal‘ period: but be careful, it will seem much colder due to habit. We have now become accustomed to this infinite summer, we are to 99 in August with highs still very mild, up to 21°C even in the North (out of the fog). The month of August practically never ended this year, with temperatures up to 35°C even in mid-October! And the Novembrata is continuing in these hours with peaks of 25°C on the Major Islands, 22°C in Naples, 21°C in Rome and Latina”.
From a meteorological point of view, “but watch out for even strong thunderstorms over Sicily and the central-southern Tyrrhenian Sea: until Sunday we will have scattered showers over the Trinacria slowly rising towards southern and eastern Sardinia, with possible involvement in parts of the Tyrrhenian coast. A nucleus of strong instability, in fact, will be stationed on the sea where it will cause intense storms: the Sicilian, Sardinian and Tyrrhenian coasts in general will be at risk of storms due to the sea still being warm after the Infinite Summer. Then from next week everything will change with a decline of widespread temperatures and rain, initially still on the Major Islands, then between Tuesday and Wednesday also towards a large part of the country. From August we will move to November skipping two months: it is the new Italian climate of the endless summer”, he added.

**Interview: Understanding Europe’s Upcoming Weather Transition with Andrea Garbinato**
**Interviewer:** Good morning, Andrea! Thank you for joining us today. The weather has been unusually hot across Europe, especially in countries like Italy and Spain. Can you explain what has been driving this extreme heat?
**Andrea Garbinato:** Good morning! Certainly. We’ve been experiencing a significant heatwave due to a persistent anticyclonic weather pattern over much of Europe. This “anticyclonic monster” has trapped warm air, leading to record temperatures that exceeded 45°C in some areas.
**Interviewer:** That sounds intense! You mentioned that changes are on the horizon. What can we expect in the coming days?
**Andrea Garbinato:** Yes, starting this weekend, we are forecasting a shift in weather patterns. Temperatures will begin to drop in the eastern and central parts of Europe, while areas like the British Isles and parts of Scandinavia may still feel some residual warmth. By Tuesday, we should see a significant drop in temperatures across Poland, Germany, and Northern Italy.
**Interviewer:** What specific temperatures are we looking at next week in Italy, particularly in highlights like Turin and Rome?
**Andrea Garbinato:** Next week, we expect maximum temperatures in Turin to reach around 7°C, while in Milan and Bologna, they will be around 8-9°C. Cities like Florence and Rome will see temperatures in the range of 13-14°C, and Naples will be slightly warmer at 16°C. However, in Palermo, we might still see highs around 19°C.
**Interviewer:** That’s a notable change! Is this the beginning of winter, or are we transitioning into a milder autumn phase?
**Andrea Garbinato:** It’s more of a “normally autumnal” period rather than a harsh winter. Although the drop will feel significant given our recent warm spell, we’re not entering a full winter phase just yet. The prolonged summer has made us accustomed to higher temperatures, so the change may feel abrupt.
**Interviewer:** Interesting! Some people might be surprised by the sudden cool down, especially since we’ve seen such warm temperatures recently even in October.
**Andrea Garbinato:** Exactly! This year, we witnessed summer-like conditions extending well into October, with highs reaching 35°C. The transition in November may catch many off guard, but it’s part of a natural seasonal shift.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Andrea, for your insights! It seems we should brace ourselves for a more typical autumn after experiencing this extended summer.
**Andrea Garbinato:** My pleasure! Yes, it’s time to adapt to the changing weather as we head into winter. Stay warm!
