DROUGHT, there are ZONES with SERIOUS WATER DEFICITS. This is WHAT they are and WHEN to expect RAIN SERIES »ILMETEO.it

DROUGHT, in Dry several sectors of ItalyApproaching the beginning of the astronomical autumn (September 22), from the meteorological point of view, gradually baric movements completely different from those of the summer are glimpsed. More specifically, with the arrival of September major Atlantic disturbances should Be more incisive and willing to interest our country with its rain load.

But currently this is not the case, or at least not for several corners of Italy that are actually almost dry, characterized by strong WATER DEFICIT. And this is becoming a serious problem.
Let’s try to better understand the situation and prospects..

The month of August was characterized by very high temperatures, especially at South Central, due to the unflappable anticyclonic dominance which, consequently, hampered the arrival of rainfall.
However, instability has occurred in recent weeks, with the sound of storms triggered by infiltrations of colder and wetter ocean air. the disturbed phases, although sometimes intense, had a decidedly sectoral impact, insisting almost always on the same areas, in particular north.

ITALY DIVIDED – From the data of NOAA
referred to precipitation anomalies in the last month (from August 7 to today) it is evident as in eastern areas of the middle and lower Adriatic, along with those too South-central pennines, the rainfall was below average of about 20/30%. She speaks completely opposite, for example, to. Upper Piedmont Alps, of the Lombardy and also gods east-central sectors who have registered a precipitative surplus greater than 30%.
Finally, the rest of north, he Medium / High Tyrrhenian and two o’clock Main islands.

AREAS AT RISK OF DROUGHT – Well the Drought it continues to penalize several Italian areas.
The areas most affected by the water emergency in Italy, at the moment, are the Adriatic belt of Romagna and the eastern sectors of Marche, Abruzzo, Molise and Puglia..

PERSPECTIVES – But when we have opportunities to severe rains also in these risk areas?
Many people ask this question, since the Drought is becoming quite a serious problem, especially for ours Earth and consequently for thefarming, with special attention to fall and winter crops.
Unfortunately the news is not good. Most likely, the dry phase will continue at least for others 7/8 days. A little rain should not be excluded between September 13 and 16 and it might interest me Sectors of the Apennines of south-central Italy with the development of temporary and with the ensuing downpours that might give some relief, but certainly DO NOT resolve the situation.
For rains with more body we will have to wait a little longer, for now they remain a kind of mirage.
Probably, at least according to the latest updates of our long-term models, to witness a more turbulent phase in the drought areas of our country, we will have to wait for the third decade of the month of September.
