Stubborn High Pressure Warms Italy as Midweek Shift Brings Fog to the North

Forecasts point to a humid turn from Wednesday that favors low clouds in northern plains under an anticyclone expected to persist into early March.

Overview

  • A robust anticyclone is delivering dry, stable weather nationwide through the last week of February, according to forecasters cited by Corriere della Sera and il Giornale.
  • Daytime temperatures are rising to near‑spring values, with the major islands forecast to touch around 20°C and inland hills warming most.
  • From Wednesday to Thursday, a weak front grazing Italy is set to rotate winds from the south, drawing in maritime moisture and increasing cloud cover.
  • Dense fog and persistent low clouds are expected to develop especially over the Po Valley and some Tyrrhenian coasts, at times lasting all day, while the Center‑South and high mountains stay sunnier.
  • Meteorologists expect the high‑pressure pattern to continue into early March, with only brief disturbances possible, particularly over the Northwest, and medium‑range uncertainty remains.
