High pressure is returning to the Italian peninsula, bringing with it stable weather and generally clear skies. This weather pattern, expected for several days, will initially bring lower temperatures that will gradually rise, favoring milder weather.
The cyclone that had hit Italy is moving away, giving way to high pressure. The country will no longer be affected by the vortex of Arctic air coming from the Nordic countries, but will benefit from an increase in maximum temperatures, particularly in the western regions.
Monday, February 17, is expected to be mostly cloudy, with clearer skies expected in the coming days, ushering in a hint of early spring. Temperatures in central and southern regions could reach 16 to 17 degrees Celsius. Monday will be mostly stable, although skies may become very cloudy in some areas. Light rain is expected along the Tuscan coast, in the provinces of Matera, Lecce, and Crotone, while the Triveneto region will see predominantly sunny skies.

The high pressure that is returning seems to bring good weather, but I wonder if the low temperatures from before might not return. Let's hope the weather stays this clear for more days, it would be nice.
