Rome: Italy will experience mild temperatures and scattered showers over the next two days, with snow expected in northern and some central parts on Valentine’s Day, forecaster Lorenzo Tedici reported on Wednesday.
According to Ansa News Agency, Tedici mentioned on IlMeteo.it that unseasonal storms are predicted along the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coasts, in Tuscany, and extending locally towards other central regions in the next few hours. The forecast hints at an autumnal atmosphere with late-summer weather phenomena, particularly on Thursday when the central regions, especially the Tyrrhenian, are anticipated to face scattered rain.
On Valentine’s Day, a cyclone carrying cold air is set to bring snow in the evening to areas such as Emilia and Veneto, reaching down to the plains. During the night between Friday and Saturday, snowflakes are expected from Bologna to Piacenza and may also be seen between Padua and Rovigo. Saturday will witness a significant temperature drop of 8-10 degrees in both minimum and maximum values.
Snowfall is expected to continue widely in the plains until lunchtime on Saturday. In the afternoon, snow will likely fall on the hills between Emilia Romagna and the central regions. However, by Sunday, the weather is predicted to improve in most areas, with the exception of some lingering phenomena in the South and on the Central Adriatic, along with snow on the central-southern Apennines at altitudes above 700-900 meters.
The detailed forecast outlines grey skies and local drizzle in the North on Wednesday, with rain expected in Tuscany, Marche, Umbria, and Lazio in the Center, while the South remains mostly sunny. Thursday will see grey skies with occasional drizzle in the North, scattered moderate rain in the Center, and increasing clouds in the South. By Friday, bad weather is anticipated in the Northeast, with worsening conditions in the Center featuring snow on the hills, and cloudy skies with isolated rain in the South.
