The evolution for Tuesday 15: cold drops south!
After an April rain over most of Italy, in May began with mostly stable and sunny days and mild temperatures, but also in the last two days we've had strong storms in the center / north, heavy rains, hailstorms and tornadoes.
Extreme events that now occur more easily than last month, because the energy involved in the Mediterranean Basin is the most significant and favors the formation of these events because of the contrasts between air masses hotter coming from the south , and still cold coming from the north.
After the bad weather today and tomorrow, as there are still some light rain / moderate species at the center / south, but also to the north / east albeit residual, we have two intermediate days between Tuesday and Thursday, 8 10 the first of a new heat wave, short but intense, that between Friday 11 and Sunday 13 will drive up the temperature a little over Italy but, again as at the end of April, especially in the center / north go back where temperatures above +30 ° C and ionic areas continue to to cooler, and generally throughout the south will remain cooler, albeit mild and pleasant as we travel to mid-March and now the climate is no longer the rigors of a few months ago.

This wave of heat that will once again enjoy the summer, however, will last a very short and in the early days of next week, between Monday 14 and Wednesday 16, will return to the bad weather throughout Italy, first at the center / north and then also to center / south, with temperatures plummeting and thunderstorms.
It 's still early to talk in detail (extent of intense events, location and timing), but it is likely that after a bad weather continued to moderate in April, in May this will alternate with pauses anticyclonic warm and cool phases and much more disturbed, full of violent phenomena such as hail and tornadoes.
