The weather for these first days of October tells us that at least another week will last “October”: the aftershock of summer on our country.

We will therefore still have at least 7 days of summer heat according to ilmeteo.it. Let’s call it Octobrata or summer tail, the fact is that the next few days will look more like August than October. Everything for the satisfaction of heat lovers and those who fear the cold. On the horizon, however, a new turn in the weather is expected. On the other hand, it’s not surprising: autumn has started two weeks ago and the calendar can’t drag on for too long.

What’s happening ? In recent days, explains Marco Castelli of ilmeteo.it, a vast anticyclonic field has consolidated, located between Western and Central Europe. Its effects are already being felt in the Mediterranean basin as well. As a result, Italy is fully invested in it. The atmosphere in our country has undergone a real metamorphosis compared to last week. In fact, we went from a purely autumnal context to an almost summery context, with temperatures everywhere well above the average for the period.

weather, abnormal heat

In the next few hours, things are not going to change. There will be abnormal heat over much of Italy, with peaks that can even reach 30 degrees on the large islands – Sardinia and Sicily – and in any case with peaks around 25 degrees even in the large cities of the Center and the Po Valley. There will be very few exceptions. The weather will show some small changes in the next few hours as cooler winds caress the far southern regions. In the South, temperatures can drop a little, but not much, anyway.

What happens on the weekend

This context, too hot for the climatic standards of the period, seems destined to end by next weekend. After a still very mild Saturday October 8 for most of the country, from Sunday October 9 the first signs of a possible change will be felt. Look to Northern Europe where a cyclonic vortex will begin to push its driving center south. The weather will change over the course of next week, and a true autumnal context will reappear over Italy. The data centers are not yet fully aligned with each other, confirmation will be required. For now, it’s time for the heat: it’s possible to take advantage of the last days of a prolonged summer that has already far exceeded the month of October.
