Economic and Political Forecast: Big Changes Expected from August 12. Here’s What You Need to Know.

The Weather Forecast for the Second Week of August

The first week of August confirmed the extreme heat of late July as we find ourselves in the peak of summer 2024.
The effects of climate change and global warming have led to record-breaking heat and intense weather events.
However, a weather change is on the horizon.

Starting from August 12, everything is set to change with the influence of a more moderate high-pressure system and the arrival of cooler air currents.
These factors are expected to alleviate the current heatwave and provide some relief from the sweltering temperatures, albeit temporarily.
This does not signal the end of summer; rather, there are still hot days ahead, with the current week likely being the most intense until mid-August.

Planning outdoor activities, vacations, or outings will benefit from considering this change in weather patterns.
While significant rainfall is not anticipated, this period offers a chance to enjoy outdoor time with more comfortable weather conditions.
Some scattered showers, especially in certain regions of Italy, are still expected.
Let’s delve into the detailed weather forecast and what to expect from August 12 onwards.

Weather Forecast: Changes from August 12 Onwards

During the upcoming week, starting from Monday, August 12, Italy will experience the approach of cooler air currents, ready to ease the heatwave.
While these currents may not be exceptionally strong, they are anticipated to bring much lower temperatures by reducing the influx of hot air from Africa.
Overall, milder days are ahead compared to the scorching conditions of the initial August week, making the heat more bearable.

Meteorologists predict that these upcoming days will be the peak of the heat and mugginess, with the African high-pressure system prevailing dominantly over the country.
This hot air mass will persist for at least the first ten days of the month.
However, by the end of the week, a weakening of the African high-pressure system is expected, leading to slightly cooler temperatures.

The influx of Atlantic air currents, expected around August 12-13, is projected to mark a significant shift, bidding farewell to the record-breaking heat of recent months.
The return of the high-pressure system bringing new heatwaves to the country remains uncertain in the post-mid-August weather forecasts.

In the Mediterranean region, the high-pressure system is likely to endure, especially in Southern Italy, resulting in further scorching days.
Conversely, relief can be expected in Northern Italy and the Adriatic regions.

The clash between dry, cooler Atlantic winds and the hot, humid subtropical air masses will result in a temperature decrease along with potential rains and thunderstorms due to the interaction of varying pressures and temperatures.
However, no severe storms are anticipated.

According to meteorological models, the week leading up to Ferragosto is expected to maintain intense heat, gradually decreasing from Monday, August 12.
During this period, sporadic rains and limited precipitation are likely in mountainous areas, expected to be moderate in duration and intensity.

However, between August 12 and 19, the weakening of the high-pressure system may lead to more unpredictable weather events.
Stay updated for further developments and precautions during this transitional period.
