Winter has taken a break over Mediterranean

[Paolo Saracino]

After a cold wave that mostly hit south Italy through strong north winds, Winter is far away from Mediterranean.

As we can see, the picture shows us a strong and wide high pressure bridge, called Bernd, that is lying on west-central Europe. The cause is a strong polar vortex that makes high pressure extend from the Azores up to Balkan Peninsula.

Consequently, weather will remain mostly stable, because any perturbations will slide along higher latitudes. Therefore, a real break in between of Winter that, according to the latest forecasts, might last up to the next week.
