“One of the most…”. The first trends – Time

The rain and the drop in temperatures awaken in many the desire for the arrival of winter. It is natural, therefore, to start wondering what it will be like. Colonel Mario Giuliacci has begun to anticipate some curiosities. If before it was the season of “frost and snow”, in recent years the presence of “that harsh climate” for which it is known has not always been recorded. “The increase in average planetary temperatures has also made our winters on average milder, and in fact all the five warmest winters from the 1950s to today are concentrated in the new millennium,” he explained. According to the trend described by climate models, “this year’s winter should be warmer than the climatic average, but without marked anomalies, and this means that it should be colder than last year and, perhaps, one of the harshest of the recent years”, specified the expert.

In the latest article published on meteogiuliacci.itthe meteorologist tried to outline a scenario and reiterated that it will be “a rather cold winter, but for the snow it could be a completely different story”. And what is the trend regarding snow? “To see the flakes whiten the landscape, two fundamental ingredients are needed: one is the cold; the other is the precipitation which, if the temperatures are low enough, falls in the form of white snowflakes”, he explained Giuliacci. A winter that will be “rather dry in the North, precisely where the cold could bring snow more easily”, he added.
