Fresh bout of bad weather to hit Italy starting Thursday

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 9 - After a brief truce on Wednesday, a fresh bout of bad weather associated with the remnants of hurricane Kirk currently passing over France and Germany is expected to pummel central and northern Italy starting on Thursday, according to Lorenzo Tedici, a meteorologist at iLMeteo.it.
    Starting on Thursday, intense rain has been forecast in Liguria and Lombardy with the bad weather also hitting the north-eastern Triveneto area and the entire Tyrrhenian coast from Tuscany to Campania in the afternoon with strong winds and heavy rainfall, said Tedici.
    Strong southern winds will also lead to a rise in temperatures in the South with peaks of 34°C in Sicily, 30°C in Puglia and 28°C also expected in the central Marche and Abruzzo regions.
    Meanwhile, the African anticyclone will return over the weekend with cloudy skies in the North-East, Tuscany and part of the South to be replaced Saturday by sunny weather across the peninsula and rising temperatures, including in the Centre-North, said Tedici. (ANSA).
