Weather: Strong winds, gusts of more than 90 km/h on the road. All areas involved
Imminent phase of bad weather in Italy: in addition to heavy rain, Cyclone Colomba will also cause strong gusts of wind in the coming days that will affect many of our regions.
A necessary premise must be made: the seasons never change suddenly. Transition phases are often characterized by sudden changes from hot to cold (or vice versa) with an alternation of situations that can last even weeks (the classic periods when you don’t know how to dress!). This turbulent process is known in meteorological jargon as “equinoxal storm (or squall).“: a name that is not exactly academic, but is universally accepted and leaves no room for doubt. Precipitation, in these phases, can also be intense and abundant, the winds are quite strong and storm surges can even occur.
And that’s exactly what will happen from Tuesday March 26 when the cold and unstable currents of polar origin will make their entrance, submerging into the Mediterranean basin from the Rhône Valley, giving life to what, given the calendar, we have pleasantly called Cyclone Colomba.
Due to the counterclockwise rotation of the winds around the low, strong gusts of wind will be activated. cirocus in the Adriatic, Tyrrhenian and Ionian regions, with peaks at more than 50-60 km/h.
Meanwhile, the Tramountain over Liguria, with gusts of 40 km/h, also in Savona and Genoa.
Of Wednesday March 27 The currents will curve from the northwest/west over all central-southern Italy and Sicily, causing Mistral’s violent gusts that reach almost 90/100 km/hespecially in east-central Sicily, the Strait of Messina and Calabria.
Even in the next few days, leading up to the Easter weekend, we will have winds mainly from the southern quadrant, particularly in the Central-South regions.
