Farctic cold, snow at low altitude, but then sun and heat: the month of January 2025 promises to be decidedly dynamic from a meteorological point of view: between very low temperatureswhich will cross Italy in the next few days, bringing harsh weather conditions, and sudden warming.
The cold comes from the Arctic
In fact, next week Italy will be hit by a current of polar ice that will definitely make your teeth chatter. A current of intense cold that comes straight from Russia and that, according to the meteorologists of ilmeteo.itis the result of a mass of warm air pushing towards the North Pole, forcing the frost to drop in latitude and head towards us.
Siberian temperatures and snow
Starting Monday 13 Januarynight temperatures will drop below -5 degrees, especially in the Centre-North. But this extreme cold will not only affect the North: the South and Sicily will also be involved with thunderstorms and storms. And for those who love snow, there will also be heavy snowfall on the plains in Abruzzo, Molise, Puglia and Basilicata, while in Calabria, Sardinia and Sicily it will snow on the hills.

Watch out for extreme phenomena
In particular, Calabria and Sicily could see extreme phenomena such as flooding and flash floods until Tuesday 14 January, due to the strong contrasts between the different air masses. So, it’s best to stay alert.
And after the arctic cold, the return of the sun
After this wave of intense cold, however, the weather will change radically. Starting Wednesday 15 Januarya large area of high pressure will once again dominate, bringing with it sunshine and warmer temperatures. In the mountains and in the central regions, you will finally be able to enjoy pleasant days, while in the northern plains it is possible that the fogs will return.
