The Hurricane Kirk is preparing to hit Europe in the form of a post-tropical cyclone. This is according to the models from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). After reaching category 4 in the heart of the Atlantic, Kirk quickly moved northeast. The hurricane is expected to reach the United Kingdom and France by the end of next week, initiating an extratropical transition process. This means that, while losing its energy, Kirk will still have the ability to generate torrential rains and strong winds. Current estimates indicate that over 125 millimeters of rain could fall, with wind gusts up to gale force. But what could be the consequences for Italy?
The Forecasts
As mentioned, a sequence of disturbances will arrive in Europe involving various regions of Italy. The first wave of bad weather, as reported by 3bmeteo, is expected to start on Monday, October 7, although it will be weak and limited. Rain is expected in parts of the North, mainly in the Northwest, Lombardy, and Emilia. Tuscany will also be affected, with irregular and some rain in the central-northern areas. In the rest of Italy, the stabilizing action of the anticyclone will prevail, with mostly sunny and dry conditions. Temperatures will rise by a few degrees in the Center, while they will not undergo significant changes in the North.
Where and When It Will Rain
According to 3bmeteo meteorological models, a much more intense disturbance is expected to arrive on Tuesday, October 8. The worsening will affect the northern regions but also those of the mid-upper Tyrrhenian. Thunderstorms and strong winds are expected. The southern regions and those of the mid-Adriatic side will be less affected.
The Bad Weather
A break could arrive starting from the middle of next week, probably from Wednesday, October 9. Then, other disturbances arriving from the Atlantic will enter and head towards central-southern Europe, including Italy. One of these, as reported by 3bmeteo, could reach Italy as early as Thursday, October 10, once again mainly involving the North and the central-northern Tyrrhenian sector.
