Meteo interview with meteorologist Antonio Sanò; Mediterranean vortex in progress, then other Thunderstorms in the week
We asked Antonio Sanòdirector and founder of the website www.iLMeteo.it, what will happen in the week that has just begun.
Bad weather returns! After an interlude with abnormal heat and lots of sun from north to south, a Mediterranean vortex will deepen on the lower Tyrrhenian triggering showers, even in the form of storms and violent gusts of wind.
Talk about “Mediterranean vortex”, in short, bad weather will be serious.
Yes, that’s how it will go, it will rain a lot in the next few days. The biggest danger with this type of configuration concerns the stationary nature of thunderstorms that could persist for many hours on the same areas, causing, in the most extreme cases, lightning floods. In addition, due to the counterclockwise movement of the currents, the cyclone will draw very hot air from the southern quadrants which, after crossing the sea and loaded with moisture, will provide a surplus of fuel (potential energy) for extreme weather events.
Which regions will be most affected by bad weather?
According to the latest updates, the areas to be kept under observation will initially be the two Major Islands, Lazio, Campania, Calabria and to follow also Basilicata and Puglia. These conditions of marked instability will last, alternating with temporary drier breaks, at least until Thursday 13 October. On the rest of the country, things will go a little better, with partly cloudy or clear skies in a mild daytime environment thanks to the temporary reinforcement of the high pressure.
