Florence, 12 September 2024 – “The Tuscanylike the rest of the Peninsula, will collapse between Thursday 12th and Friday 13th in thefall” The meteorologist says so Lorenzo Tedici. The 30 degrees reached in many cities including Firenze they will therefore only be a memory compared to what will happen in the next 48 hours: in some cities we will have a halving of the maximum temperatures.
Almost all of the Center-North on Friday 13th it will oscillate around fully autumnal highs, around the value that in the last few days represented the minimum: 20 degrees. A temperature that, in recent years, has rarely been recorded for more than one day in September; and this autumn phase it will be quite long.
And in the meantime, for today, September 12th, a…yellow alert in Tuscany. The measure will be valid in some areas of the region: the areas affected are the north-western ones, the stretch of coast from the north to Piombino (including the Archipelago) and the southern areas corresponding to the mouth of the Fiora and Albegna.
Thunderstorms and rain, locally heavy, are expected especially in the north-west areas. Strong south-westerly winds with gusts up to 70-90 km/h on the Livorno coast and on the Archipelago north of Elba and locally on the Apennine and leeward areas.
Gusts up to 60-70 km/h on the other hilly areas and up to 50-60 km/h on the plains in the north of the region. Rough seas north of Elba with possible storm surges on exposed coasts. Very rough seas elsewhere.
We will have a drop of even 15 degrees, the snow on the Alpsup to 1500-1700 metres (on the border reliefs up to 1100 metres!), there will be widespread rain and strengthening winds.
In the weekendfinally, we will also find the solebut in an autumnal thermal context. Throughout the country, temperatures will struggle to go above 19 degrees in the hottest hours. “Think about it – explains Tedici –, a year ago such cool maximum temperatures were recorded only from mid-October onwards, or rather locally only from November onwards. In addition to the falling maximums, the rain, snow and windor (with local storm surges) we will also have almost cold nights: the minimums will drop to single digits, for example in Milan we will have 7-8°C at dawn for the whole weekend, a decidedly cold value for the period. A September disguises itself as November“. All this is the result of a ciclone poles that is hitting Italy. In the next few hours, therefore, we will experience a general drop in temperatures during an acute phase of bad weather that will initially hit the North East, Eastern Liguria e Tuscany with strong and disturbed south-westerly currents. We will find cloudbursts in particular on Friuli Venezia Giulia, on Tri-Veneto in general and also on eastern Lombardy, with significant accumulations also onApennines northern.
The winds will be stormy from the south-west on northern Sardinia, in Liguria and in Tuscany, along the‘Central-Northern Apennines, Campania and Lucania, with gusts of rain on the Adriatic coast of Romagna and central Italy and on Puglia. In short, lots of rain, lots of wind and even snow on the Alps that will appear on the peaks above 1500 meters. Friday 13th we will have the peak of the temperature dropwith the thermometer dropping sharply
