Cold and at times freezing winter. Prospects of snow at Christmas

Different Season

⁢ ‌It’s a⁢ different winter‌ compared to those we‌ have experienced in recent years, characterized by long periods ‍of anticyclonic conditions alternating with ⁢more unstable and slightly cold phases. ‍This year,‍ however, the upcoming winter season ⁢looks promising.

The prospects are rosy, or rather, white, and certainly hint at⁣ a dynamic and colder ‍winter, even if in alternating ‍periods. In short, ⁤the upcoming winter shows a ‌ climatic overview that promises to be decidedly harsher compared to ⁣recent years.

Italy, accustomed to relatively mild‍ winters, ​is⁤ preparing to experience a‌ period of intense cold and frost, with the ⁤risk ‍of​ freezing episodes ‌starting as early as the Christmas holidays.

Cold ⁣Winter?

According to the‌ latest climate analyses⁤ and the study of various physical-mathematical models, the winter of⁢ 2024-2025 is expected ​to⁣ be one of the coldest in recent ‌years. ⁢ The‌ causes of this cold ⁢wave are linked to various global atmospheric ⁣factors, including a cooling of ⁢the Pacific ‌waters (La Niña) that could​ influence atmospheric currents, bringing Arctic air directly to Europe. ⁣ ⁣ This could favor a harsher phase with ‍below-average temperatures even for Italy, a country‍ that ​is usually not accustomed to extreme cold peaks except for a few years like ‌2012, 2014, and 2017. ‍ ⁢

Cold Christmas

The weather forecasts for Christmas ‌2024 are ‍clear: the risk of a significant drop in temperatures‍ is real.

If atmospheric conditions are favorable, as⁤ early as December‌ 24, Italy ​could‍ be hit by a cold or even freezing air mass‌ coming from the Balkans or Russia.

The regions most at risk of⁤ snowfall and extremely low temperatures⁣ will be those in the North, particularly the Alps and the Apennines, but even ‌the more inland areas of the Center and South could feel⁢ the biting cold.

Not excluding ⁢the Adriatic coastal​ areas, from Emilia to Puglia.

Harsh Winter

⁢ The ​unexpected arrival of‍ such a harsh winter (for some) also brings with⁣ it ‌a reflection.

What is it? That despite all the ⁢dramatic climate change, there⁤ is always room for ⁢some winters colder than usual.

And the winter of 2024-2025 promises to be particularly harsh, with temperatures​ decidedly below average and ⁤a‍ real‍ risk of freezing episodes around Christmas, continuing ⁤into January and February.

A winter that will also offer the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of ⁤a winter landscape under the sign of the cold.
