Heavy and frequent rains characterized the autumn season, but what will winter be like? Is it possible that they are the prelude to harsh and snowy months? Colonel Mario Giuliacci tried to answer these common questions. At the moment, weather maps show a drop in temperatures starting from the first days of November. This fact, if confirmed, would reverse the trend of recent years. “In fact, when the atmospheric circulation takes a path, it then tends to maintain that direction. It is a phenomenon described by the so-called law of persistence. Therefore, coming from rainy and relatively cold periods, it is likely that in the following weeks the prevailing conditions will remain characterized by rain and cold”, explained the expert.
Is it better to keep warm clothing on hand? According to the famous atmospheric physicist, “it will be a colder winter than those of the recent past, although clearly less severe than what happened in the 80s and 90s”. Excellent news also for those who love snowflakes and winter sports. It seems, in fact, that the snow could fall more copiously. “The season will also offer the opportunity to see the snow properly whiten the mountains and, probably, on some occasions reach down to the plains”, we read in the meteorologist’s speech published on meteogiuliacci.it.

**Interview with Colonel Mario Giuliacci on Winter Weather Predictions**
**Editor:** Good day, Colonel Giuliacci. Thank you for joining us today to discuss the recent weather patterns and what we might expect for the upcoming winter season.
**Colonel Giuliacci:** Thank you for having me. It’s a pleasure to be here.
**Editor:** Heavy and frequent rains have dominated this autumn. Do you think this is an indicator of what we can expect for winter?
**Colonel Giuliacci:** Yes, the significant rainfall we’ve experienced this autumn is quite telling. It often signals a transition into a colder winter, particularly if we observe a consistent drop in temperatures, which we are currently predicting for early November.
**Editor:** You mentioned the law of persistence regarding atmospheric conditions. Can you elaborate on what that means for this winter?
**Colonel Giuliacci:** Certainly! The law of persistence suggests that once an atmospheric circulation pattern establishes itself, it tends to continue in the same direction. So, following this rainy and relatively cool period, it is likely we will experience further cold and wet conditions in the coming weeks.
**Editor:** With these predictions, could we be facing particularly harsh and snowy months ahead?
**Colonel Giuliacci:** It’s possible. If current trends continue and temperatures drop, we might indeed see a winter characterized by more snow, especially in regions that typically see it. However, it’s important to monitor the evolving weather maps for precise forecasts.
**Editor:** Thank you, Colonel. Before we wrap up, is there any advice you’d give to people preparing for this potential cold snap?
**Colonel Giuliacci:** Absolutely. I recommend residents prepare for lower temperatures, ensure their heating systems are operational, and stay updated with local weather forecasts to be ready for any harsh conditions that may arise.
**Editor:** Thank you for your insights, Colonel Giuliacci. It’s always helpful to have expert advice as we brace for winter.
**Colonel Giuliacci:** Thank you! Stay warm and safe this winter!
