A "polar wind storm" is ready to hit Italy and will mainly affect Sardinia, the Alps and the Po Valley.
This is what meteorologists predict due to a cyclone of freezing air that will descend from the North Pole to Germany in conjunction with the Azores anticyclone that will instead arrive in Western Europe.
Events that will generate an "extreme pressure" that will unleash stormy winds - hurricane-like - from Scandinavia towards Germany, up to Austria, and then flow towards the Balkan areas, also affecting Italy.
For the Winter Solstice (which this year is Friday 22 December at 4.27), the storm of winds from the North-West will hit Sardinia as mentioned (where the seas will be rough or very rough), the Alps and the Po Valley .
From Saturday the wind will still blow stiffly, but attenuating and rotating from the South-West: this rotation will cause an increase in clouds on the Tyrrhenian side and some rain cannot be ruled out.
On Christmas Day the sky will be at times cloudy on the Tyrrhenian side , while elsewhere the temperatures will be between 10-15 degrees and the weather will be essentially sunny.
