WINTER WITH A SPRING SCENT
Hello friends of RIWMAG and METEOEVENTI. We are in the week of Christmas and the astronomical winter began yesterday. But in the air you can't exactly breathe a winter and Christmas air. Christmas, in fact, always brings to mind cold and, in the most romantic, snow whitening streets, roofs and slopes. But the 2022, abnormal for most of its course, It could end up with a different trend? Over the weekend of Christmas, the weather configuration will be of a completely different perspective.
It's, in fact, The advance of the North African anticyclone has already begun. Over the weekend the high pressure bell will be positioned right on our peninsula and this will determine somewhat anomalous weather conditions for the period, or temperatures above average and also little wind on our coasts, especially on Christmas Day.
Pressure (Geopotential Height Black isoline) and temperature (in color) with map of faces intended for the night between Saturday and Sunday. A high pressure promontory will seize the central Mediterranean and, then, will be the protagonist of the Christmas weekend. Little wind and temperatures above the average for the period (source ECMWF www.ecmwf.int and elaborated by METEOEVENTI).
However, we look with the lantern the areas where the Christmas weekend can give some gliding.
SATURDAY
north Nothing to report on both sides, as well as on large alpine lakes.
center even in central Italy the wind will be quite stingy. To report only the wind of Libeccio on the high Livorno and the weak Sirocco on the other Tuscan coasts. He waited, Anyway, weak intensities on 10/12 nodes in attenuation in the afternoon.
south The only area to show a trend towards windy conditions will be the southern Ionian coast of Calabria. Awaited, in fact, the typical wind from the North of the Strait that will blow even up to 15/18 nodes, While, from the afternoon, Mistral winds will affect the coasts of the Gulf of Squillace with intensity on 15 nodes.
islands Sardinia: West wind will blow on the coasts to the north and south of the island. To the north expected 20/22 knots in Gallura, but even greater intensity will affect the spots overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio. To the south the wind will always blow from the east with intensity on the 18/20 nodes;
Sicily: the Mistral will blow on Trapani and on the southern coasts of the island with average intensities of 15 nodes, A few more knots are possible on the Trapani spots. Another windy area will be the Messina where it is expected west wind always on 15 knots until the afternoon.
SUNDAY
north nothing to report.
center to be reported only de Libeccio on the Tyrrhenian side that will blow on the 12/15 Knots between the coasts of Viterbo and Grosseto. Elsewhere the high pressure will not give anything appreciable.
south even in the south of our peninsula the high pressure will not bring wind. Christmas will flow in the name of temperatures above the average for the period.
islands hot out of season and little wind even on the two major islands, particularly in Sicily. A weak wind we can find it on the northern Sardinian coasts, more likely on the spots overlooking the Strait of Bonifacio for the West on the 10/12 nodes.
Have a good weekend and above all MERRY CHRISTMAS to all of you / us lovers of the wind and as usual ...
