FORECAST ALPS AND APENNINES FOR THURSDAY ''
On Thursday, a perturbation of Atlantic origin will reach Northern Italy starting from the Northwest regions and will cause the snow to return to the western Alps at initially higher altitudes of 2000m. By evening it will extend to the eastern Alps and on Friday it will be followed by colder air from high European latitudes which will trigger a lowering of temperatures and snow levels in the Alpine areas, even below 1500m, albeit with phenomena that will tend to diminish. The cold air will flow towards the central-northern Apennines on Friday and the flakes will make their first appearance below 2000m.
During the day the first flakes will appear in the Piedmontese Alps and in the Aosta Valley above 2000 / 2200m, extending in the evening to the Lombard reliefs and in a weaker form to the Eastern Alps. Flakes are therefore expected in alpine locations such as Sestriere and in the night also in Cervinia, albeit without significant accumulations, while beyond 2500m the fresh mantle could reach even 40cm in thickness.
FORECAST ALPS AND APENNINES FOR FRIDAY ''
The snowfalls in the western Alps will lessen, apart from a bit of sleet on the Franco-Swiss borders with the rain-snow limit down to 1200m. The front will instead concentrate on the Lombard and Eastern Alps with intense phenomena and sometimes thunderstorms and the snow level which will drop down to around 1300 / 1500m. A few centimeters of snow will cover places such as Livigno, about ten centimeters at 2200m, while at the Stelvio Pass, even 30cm of fresh snow will be deposited.
The disturbance will also affect the Apennines, where initially the phenomena will be in rainy form. As the hours go by, the cold influx from the northern quadrants will favor the lowering of the snow level on the Tuscan-Emilian sector up to about 1600m. On Monte Cimone the day could end with an interesting whitewash characterized by about 5cm of fresh snow. Flakes also on the central Apennines between Lazio and Abruzzo, lowering to about 1800m at the end of the day.

NOAA: torna El Niño, come potrebbe influenzare l'inverno 2026-2027 sulle Alpi?
La NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) ha pubblicato il 9 luglio il nuovo aggiornamento sul fenomeno climatico ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation), confermando che El Niño è ormai in pieno sviluppo e che continuerà a rafforzarsi nei prossimi mesi. Secondo i climatologi statunitensi, il fenomeno dovrebbe raggiungere il proprio massimo proprio durante l'inverno boreale 2026-2027, con una probabilità del 97% di persistere fino alla primavera 2027 e con possibilità sempre più elevate di raggiungere un'intensità tra le più elevate osservate dal 1950.
