High Pressure Sets Up Sunny Immacolata Holiday Across Italy

Forecasters cite a strengthening Mediterranean anticyclone driving unusually mild daytime readings.

Overview

  • Residual showers remain confined to Sicily, Calabria and parts of Puglia through Sunday before fading, following a windy Saturday of Maestrale that then relaxes.
  • Most areas turn stable and bright for Monday’s holiday, with only passing high clouds and localized low stratus in some northern and central basins.
  • Daytime temperatures rise above seasonal norms, with local anomalies up to 10–12°C and peaks near 19°C in parts of the southern islands.
  • Morning fog and low clouds are likely in the Po Valley and inland valleys, with possible local drizzle on Liguria and the upper Tyrrhenian due to temperature inversions.
  • Snow remains limited to high Alpine areas in the west, and the warm anticyclonic phase is projected to persist at least through December 12, with any longer extension needing further model confirmation.
