When does the heat end 2022? We are no longer in summer, and yet, October was characterized by an unusually hot weather. Very high temperatures until Friday, then a brief phase of instability will follow in the Central North, but later, the anticyclone Scipio Africanus will return: even hotter over the weekend, 34°C in Sardinia, 33°C also in Sicily, peaks which are usually reached in the month of July. But what's going on?
2022 is the hottest year in Italy for 222 years. Next Sunday temperatures will exceed 33-34°C. The thermal anomaly will affect the whole country. Roma e Bolzano they will register 26-27 degrees, too Milano will have temperatures 6 points above average.
Record temperatures: Rome and Milan above average
The warmest cities will be Olbia e Oristano with 28°C, Rome and Bolzano will settle around 26°C with locally even higher peaks. Milan will also record very high temperatures for the average of the period: 24°C. But in a second phase, with the even stronger comeback of Scipio Africanus, the Sardinia , Sicilia they will be hot: expected over 33-34°C over the weekend.
When does the heat end 2022? What November awaits us?
What October was a record hot month there are no doubts. But what November awaits us? the sub-seasonal forecasts of ECMWF, the European Center for medium-term weather forecasts, forecast the whole of November as well, decidedly above the average for the period.
Weather forecast: from Wednesday 19 to Sunday 23 October
Wednesday 19th October. In the North, fog in the morning in the Po Valley, the upper Adriatic and the valleys between Tuscany and Umbria; the mists and mists will mostly be rapidly dissipating over the course of the morning. At the Sun Center. In the South, lots of sun and a very mild climate.
Thursday 13th October. Good weather in the North except for dense mists and fog in the plains. In the sunny center. While in the South it was sunny with temperatures above the average for the period.
Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd October. For the weekend the trend is still very uncertain. Rainfall in the northern regions is not excluded on Friday 21st and in the early hours of Saturday 22nd October, with locally intense rainfall, especially in Liguria. There could be some episodes of atmospheric instability on Saturday during the day even over the central regions. Finally, on Sunday 23rd, a general improvement is looming thanks to a new sub-tropical anticyclonic comeback towards Italy and the central Mediterranean. Temperatures will remain much higher than the average with a late summer climate and therefore with anomalous heat especially in the Centre-South.
