Winter has barely begun, but experts are one step ahead and are talking about the first heat wave in 2025. The shocking thing is that it is supposed to hit the southern part of Europe already in January. High temperatures will shoot up, but they won’t last long. According to the website, the high pressure that will be present over Italy will affect the weather and increase the temperatures.
“This could be the first heat wave in 2025. As has been pointed out several times, 2025 promises to be extremely volatile and very different from 2024.” experts said.
High temperatures should persist for a week in the south of Europe and a thermal contrast may occur on the coast, when warm air arrives and mixes with colder air, causing higher cloud cover. While the beginning of January will be colder, the weather will change during the month, with a cool down again towards the end of the first month of the year.
“This event will be in stark contrast to the weather conditions expected in the first half of January when an influx of cold air may have brought temperatures below the seasonal average to Italy. The US is likely to be hit by a cold wave accompanied by snow storms and low temperatures. When such extreme events occur in North America, high pressure tends to form in Europe, which is often a prelude to weather change,” the meteorologists explain.
