Abruzzo Weather Forecast for December 31st and January 1st

This week started with cold Arctic air affecting many regions across Central and Eastern Europe, including Italy. Although the Adriatic regions, including Abruzzo, have felt somewhat less impact, temperatures dropped noticeably.

Current Weather Conditions

  • Initial conditions: Cloudy skies with potential light snow in the Apennine mountains above 300-500 meters.
  • Expected improvement: Skies will clear throughout the day, beginning along the coastline.
  • New Year’s Eve: Generally clear skies with possible lingering clouds near the mountains.

Despite the increase in clarity, temperatures are projected to remain lower than seasonal averages, with widespread frost anticipated during evenings and mornings. This trend will continue especially in the plains and internal Apennine valleys as Dec 31 transitions into Jan 1.

Temperature Trends

  • Current temperatures: Below seasonal averages.
  • Increase forecast: Starting January 2nd, with strengthening Libeccio winds bringing rising temperatures.

Wind and Sea Conditions

  • Morning winds: Moderate from the northeast; gradually easing by afternoon.
  • Friday forecast: Expect stronger Libeccio winds.
  • Sea state: Initially rough but to calm down by New Year’s Day.

Weather predictions indicate that the New Year will commence with slightly better conditions, although residents should prepare for a cold start. Abruzzo will gradually warm up after the initial drop in temperatures.
