the date to mark in red –

The so-called late summer storm will arrive sooner than expected. This emerges from the latest updates weather forecast and from forecasts of the weather for the next few days. Well, the first signs are already being seen in various areas of Italy: when the heat ends intense? Lurking there is “a cyclone full of rain and storms destined to hit a large part of our regions” and to put an end to “the great summer heat that has been accompanying us since the beginning of July”, explain the experts of the IlMeteo.itThe date to mark is that of Thursday 5th September and there is reason to be on alert: the currents descending from the north risk creating a “dangerous vortex” which, fed by the warm air that is stationary over the Mediterranean, could bring “extreme weather events”.

The site cites data from the European Centre and the risk of “flash floods” especially “for the North West regions and for part of the Tyrrhenian ones”, where large quantities of water are expected. But is this the “break of the summer”? Let’s say it’s an appetizer. The main event will come in Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September and over the course of the following week, when various disturbed fronts will follow one another, causing temperatures to plummet and ushering in autumn.
