Strong Wind Warning Tuesday, Then Sunny "Ottobrata" Weather Returns to Italy
Italy will have a weather warning on Tuesday. It is for strong wind. The warning is for Central and South Italy.
The start of the week still has some bad weather. There is rain and wind in some places.
But good weather is coming soon. Italy will get a short ottobrata. This means nice sunny days in October.
The good weather comes from an anticyclone. This is high pressure in the air. It brings dry and calm weather.
From Wednesday, the weather will be nice everywhere in Italy. The temperature will also go up.
But experts say the ottobrata will not last long. People should enjoy the sun while it is here.
