Italy is experiencing a weather rollercoaster as a cyclone brings persistent rain and local thunderstorms, particularly affecting the North-East and Adriatic regions.

While the cyclone is slowly moving away, a brief respite is expected over the weekend, with sunny spells on Sunday.

However, this calm will be short-lived as a new Atlantic disturbance is set to arrive early next week, bringing more rain, especially to the North and Central regions.

Temperatures have dropped, with some areas experiencing snow at higher altitudes.

The weather remains unpredictable, with frequent changes expected in the coming days.
