Italy weather forecast: heavy rain and storms expected

Italy is entering a period of increased atmospheric instability with several weather disturbances expected between October 19 and October 25. The most intense phase is predicted for Tuesday, October 20, when a major perturbation will bring heavy rain, thunderstorms, and a heightened risk of hydrogeological issues, particularly in Piedmont and Liguria.

Forecasts indicate a risk of river flooding and flooding in these northwestern regions due to significant water accumulation. While the north-west faces the most severe weather, the impact will vary across the peninsula. Central and southern regions, including parts of Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, Campania, and Calabria, may experience scattered showers and more persistent rain toward the end of the week.

Temperatures are expected to fluctuate and generally decrease as cooler Atlantic air masses move in, particularly in areas affected by the rainfall.
