Warm "Ottobrata" Weather to Arrive in Italy Next Week
Listen to the story
Rain is falling in the south of Italy this weekend. The center and south have had rain in the last few days too.
Next week, the weather will change. A big area of high pressure will move over Italy. This is called an anticyclone.
The anticyclone will bring sun and warm weather. People call this kind of warm autumn weather an "ottobrata."
The name comes from the word "ottobre," which means October in Italian. It happens when warm weather returns in October.
Temperatures will go up in many parts of the country. The sky will be clear and blue.
This warm weather will not last forever. But for now, people can enjoy sunny days before winter comes.
Weather forecasts say the rain will stop soon. After the rain, the sun will come back.
