Azores High brings sunny weather to Italy before upcoming instability

weather forecast Azores High meteorology Italy weather temperature fluctuations

The Azores High is currently expanding across central-western Europe and Italy, bringing stable and sunny conditions with mild temperatures. Daytime highs are expected to reach between 23°C and 28°C in various regions, though significant diurnal temperature swings are anticipated, with nighttime lows in the central-north plains potentially dropping to 6-8°C.

However, this period of stability is expected to be temporary. Strong northern winds are currently affecting southern Italy, particularly the Ionian Sea, where waves may reach heights of 3 to 5 meters. Gusts between 60 and 75 km/h are forecasted for parts of Puglia, Basilicata, Calabria, and Sicily.

Weather patterns are expected to shift toward instability starting Friday, with increased cloudiness and potential rainfall affecting the Ionian regions, Sicily, and Calabria. By the weekend, Atlantic moisture may bring further instability to western seas and Sardinia, with a potential worsening of conditions in the central-north and Adriatic sectors early next week.
