The Valentine’s snow arrived and also a lot of rain in the northwest, then the high pressure will return. These are the forecasts of Lorenzo Tedici, meteorologist of the site www.iLMeteo.it, who recalls how in Italy “the winter season was with a temperature 0.5 ° C higher than the average, and the month of January one of the driest in recent decades with a deficit of almost 5 billion cubic meters of rain compared to the average amount: -56% of precipitation nationwide, up to -76% in the northwest, according to Icona Clima data “.
In the next few hours the snow will fall abundantly on the Alps and the Eastern Prealps above 350-500 meters, but a rapid melting of the white mantle is expected as early as Thursday 17. “Immediately after the disturbance – adds Tedici – exceptional thermal values are expected for the February, up to 12 ° C higher than the average for the period. Anomalous highs above 20 ° C are not excluded even in many cities in the center-north. In summary, the high pressure, which almost never abandoned during the last 2 months if not in the last 36 hours, it will be loud again. The sun will seem that of April, two months early, especially in the hills and in the central regions “.
