The real autumn is not here yet
Finally, there will be a corner of our country where it will practically be summer. We refer to the South and the two major islands. In the South, and in particular over Sicily and Sardinia, not only will the atmosphere remain stable and characterized by abundant sunshine, but there will be a really exaggerated heat for the season we are experiencing. It is the end of October and the approach of November: the end of autumn. A period when it usually rains a lot and the heat is gone. This weather scenario, purely summer in the South, will then be destined to envelop the rest of Italy during this weekend.
