From the African heat to thunderstorms with hail in less than a week: according to Il Meteo.it's forecasts these are the last two days of boiling temperatures, then the African anticyclone will leave Italy and from the Atlantic a perturbation will arrive that will bring rain .

The week just begun will therefore be very bizarre; the African heat indeed has its days numbered because it will be driven out by a more unstable circulation coming from the Atlantic. Wednesday 21st at the Center-South - the team at the iLMeteo.it website explains - high thermal values ​​of up to 38 degrees will continue to be recorded, particularly in the inland areas of Sardinia , Sicily and Puglia .

On the northern regions, on the other hand, the arrival of fresher Atlantic air piloted by a modest, but somewhat unpredictable, low-pressure area, will cause the development of thunderstorms that from the Alps ( Tuesday ) will be able to descend towards the Po Valley (especially Lombard and Piedmontese Wednesdays ).

And - the iLMeteo.it team warns - during Thursday 22nd , the African anticyclone will be in crisis: in the early hours of Thursday, in fact, violent thunderstorms and local hailstorms will affect the mountains and the plains of Piedmont , Lombardy up to ' Emilia and the Veneto region . This low-pressure area will affect the weather on Thursday afternoon also in the central areas of Italy, with some stormy incidents between Tuscany (up to Florence), southern Umbria and Abruzzo .

Later, due to the further subsidence of the high subtropical pressure, we will have unstable weather on the Alps and Pre-Alps as well as on the mountains of central and southern Italy, with frequent showers and hail, in probable trespassing towards the plains of Tuscany , Umbria and Lazio .

Temperatures are falling across the country starting from the north and then gradually towards the south and the islands. On the weekend there will be a favorable situation for thunderstorms scattered as well as on the alpine reliefs also on the mountainous areas of the Center-South, still on Tuscany and on the reliefs of Sicily.
