Overview
- Meteorologists forecast the Azores anticyclone to settle over Italy from Sunday, June 7, producing about ten to fifteen days of largely stable weather, especially across central and southern regions.
- Northern Italy will see the final Atlantic-driven disturbances for several days, with sudden showers and potentially intense thunderstorms concentrated over the Alps, the adjacent plains and parts of the Northeast.
- Under the Azores high, central and southern Italy are expected to have fair skies, comfortably warm daytime temperatures and pleasant nights without the extreme heat typical of African outbreaks.
- Numerical weather models show a developing risk in the second part of next week of a subtropical/African anticyclone that could push daytime highs above 34–35°C, but forecasters stress this outcome is uncertain and model runs diverge.
- Short-range impacts include milder daytime values around 27–28°C in Milan and initial 30–32°C readings in parts of the center and south, while forecasters advise watching updates because any heat surge may be brief and followed by renewed instability mid‑month.
