The winter makes you wait. Still warm and the rains are strong on Italy. But Christmas will be good time

Still rain, and not even a little. After a couple of days of sirocco and hot that it seems unnatural, with temperatures in Palermo reached 19 degrees, for Thursday, is expected a perturbation of the average intensity. Friday and all weekend it's going to rain again, but this time with storms much more severe. The first alert of the Civil Protection (yellow, the lowest value), applies to Calabria, Sardinia and Sicily for Wednesday. But it will be better to check the updates in view of the end of the week. "We're still in autumn. The solstice is expected on the 22nd of December. The sirocco, accompanied by hot, humid weather, it would not be surprising in this period," explains lieutenant-colonel Guido Guidi, a meteorologist in the air force.

If the current atmospheric in the northern hemisphere travel from west to east in a sinuous, it happens that at this time the depth of the lugs is very pronounced. So the Atlantic, Portugal and Spain are affected by the cold winds that come from the latitutidini very high, with arctic temperatures. We, instead, we find ourselves on the opposite side of the wave, the one that brings the air the african to the north. From here the winds of the sirocco and the heat is anything but winter. "But it will last only a few days," says Guidi. "The perturbations of the weekend will carry a thermometer on normal values". Rains strong will arrive first to the North. "There are planned for Friday. From Saturday down South and to the Islands". The clouds will scatter at the beginning of next week. "And at Christmas we will have beautiful weather, with temperatures in the media".

The news of a new year's Eve the cold that is circulating these days must be resized, according to Guidi. "We will have the normal cold season, maybe a degree below the norm for a bit of tramontana and the mistral. But for the moment, we do not expect large waves of cold. The last week of the old year and the first of the new year should be kept dry. But we do not know how will the season. Also if the autumn was especially rainy, this is not to say that the winter has little rain. There is no connection between the two seasons, especially because we were coming from a end of the summer with little rain".

If Italy will pass the week end in the rain, who resides in the mountains is going to come under heavy snowfalls. The snow of the past few weeks, which in the meantime has melted to the heat of the beginning of this week, it will be covered by a layer fresh, different texture. "Are the conditions in which the mantle becomes very unstable. In the next few days will be extremely important - recommended Guidi consult the bulletins of avalanche risk, before an excursion into the mountains".
