Italian weather

[Franko83]

very hot in the south

here t max 19.6°

min 17.1°!!!

in Sicily, yesterday evening looked like summer: in Cefalù(near Palermo-northen island) at 23:00, there were 28°!!! today max 29°

between Thusday and Friday, my area could have heavy rain.(I hope )

very interest situation: strong vertical velocity at 700hPa and humidity avvection. we'd have a good cape and lifted index too.probable MCS?

[Franko83]

last week-end, very several weather in the nothen Italy.

100-150mm near Milan, and 200-300mm on the toscan mountains.

At the Alps, especially central zone, came back the snow! In Passo Tonale, more 100cm!

from wednesdy evening and Friday morning, will be alert in the ionian zone.

start from east Sicily to my area (south Puglia), because cold drop actually near north-west Africa is goingt to move to SO!

[Franko83]

very strong MCS at the SW Italy. Now it's on the west Sicily!

tomorrow it will come at the Ionian see and my zone could have very heavy strong!

start tonight and I'd see the first thundestorm next morning!

Looks interesting Frank. I hope you can get some photos if you get a good thunderstorm.

I hope too

I'll try to do something

I hope to don't lose the heavy rain, these configurations are very unforeseeables.

just 50-100 kms shift to north or south could be decisive!

[Franko83]

last evening, strong thundestrom in Sicili: over 100mm in 1 hour in the east of island.

more in the east of Etna mountain.

last afternoon, 60-80mm in the east of Sardegna!

now:

yesterday heavy rain in the south Greece and S Turkey.

in the last 20 month, a lot of big thundestrom(like MCS) have prefered the Ionian Island.

Generally, my zone have some every year but I don't see once from Autumn 2005!!!

The Ionian greece Island have a very interest rain average. Corfù (in the North) more 1200mm at year!!!

I've only 650mm! Beacause when the wind flows from south-west(often!) the big Sila mountain (in Calabria- 1700m more and less) stops the humidity and I have a little fohn effect.

waterspout! I'll remember it

thanks

I'm happy you're enjoying this thread, I'll keep it up often, especyally during the next days. I hope to can see the lovely snow

[Nick F]

Enjoy the interesting weather the projected cold pooling heading your way from the NE will bring, we in the UK are not envious at all that you have -10C 850mb temps heading your way :lol: , should create some strong convection crossing the warm Adriatic too.

I hope Nick, I hope!

the secondary depression will be decisive to direction of cold pooling. if it will be about NE Greece I'd have a very nice snow, otherwise I'll see some flake or a lot of mm

Can you pull up the Hp for one/two hundred kms?

I've had confirm about the "disaster" of today

it was a tornado that was born in the sea(waterspout) and went to cost and hinterland!

a lot of secular trees are been destroyed

in these photo it's borning on the see

[Franko83]

Hi guys

today is very strong windy day

max gust 74km/h from N

at 15kms in the South from here, 88km/h!

a cold air, arrived from east europe, has created a low pressure in the ionian see.

good rain for cold storm during last night and this morning, here 10mm but at the south and 80-100kms in the north, more and less 20mm
