Cold Snap Eases in Italy as High Pressure Builds, Alerts Persist

Forecasters expect only a short respite, with another Atlantic disturbance possible later in the week.

Overview

  • Civil Protection keeps yellow warnings active for Umbria, Abruzzo, Lazio, Calabria and coastal Campania due to wind, snow and rough seas.
  • Maritime links in the Gulf of Naples restarted for ferries on Sunday, though many hydrofoil services remain canceled as seas stay very rough.
  • Forecasts point to lingering showers and low-elevation snow along the Adriatic and in parts of the South on Sunday with a further temperature drop in strong northerly winds.
  • The cold surge has disrupted travel across the Centre-South, with island isolation on Saturday, flight diversions in Sardinia and gusts up to 110–120 km/h reported in Calabria.
  • A transient high-pressure ridge is set to bring clearer weather and slightly milder daytime readings early in the week, with a new Atlantic disturbance possible around mid-week.
