Schools closed due to Halloween cyclone weather warning: here's where and when
Schools closed due to weather warning.
Halloween promises to be not only a scary holiday due to the costumes and themed parties, but also a day and above all a night of shivers: drops in temperatures and heavy rain.
Instability arrives on the Italian peninsula with the Halloween cyclone and for a few days it will divide Italy in two between Central-North and South: between intense rain and sun.
The temperatures will also be opposite, with the South almost everywhere touching 30° and reaching it in Sicily and Sardinia.
Even in the rest of Europe the weather is showing strong changes, with a vortex of low pressure that will descend from Ireland towards Spain and then onto Italy.
Scirocco winds instead predict the arrival of a more intense disturbance.
In Italy the risk of flooding and landslides is high.
