Is the winter coming?: Polar vortex brings snow and storm to Italy

A drastic change of temperature is imminent, because a polar vortex draws ominously towards the country. After a consistently mild autumn, wintry weather suddenly threatens snow and lively storms. Meteorologists warn of a massive change that could hit the north of the country hard. It seems that the popular herbstate moped will soon replace snow and frosty temperatures.

The impressive power of the polar vertebra, which usually holds cold air in the Arctic, shows weaknesses this year. This could lead to icy air currents penetrate to southern Europe and the temperatures all over Italy fall drastically. According to the predictions, this weather chaos could not only be limited to the north, because the first snowfalls are also expected in the lower locations.

snowfall in the Alps predicted

The northern Alpine regions are the focus of the current weather forecasts. According to Dieter Peterlin, the state meteorologist, frost and violent snowfall could hit the Alpine region in the coming days. The next week could be heralded a critical phase: "A significant onset of winter is not excluded. However, the exact effects remain." So winter could work on the country that many residents no longer considered it possible. The falling temperatures could create a magnificent winter landscape that would attract tourists.

The dangerous interaction with La Niña

Not only the polar vertebrae ensures the upcoming weather changes; The La Niña climate phenomenon also plays a crucial role. This not only ensures that the precipitation increases significantly, but could heat a cold and damp winter, especially in Central and southern Italy. Starting with intensive rainfall that could search for the south of Italy, up to frosty temperatures in the Alps, the different weather conditions are hardly predictable.

The moisture dynamics are complicated by La Niña, which leads to additional precipitation, which can be devastating, especially in the south of the rain. While one expects wintry idyll in the mountains, other parts of the country could threaten floods that are caused by persistent heavy rain.

In the coming winter, many regions have to prepare for major challenges. Even the roller coaster of the temperatures and weather conditions remains adventurous and unpredictable. The coming days will be decisive to understand the extent to which these extreme weather conditions will influence Italy.
