Mi primera condición es estar dentro de la franja de totalidad, porque fuera de ella no se experimentará el eclipse total, sino meramente parcial. Mi segunda condición es disponer de un horizonte oeste completamente despejado, ya que el fenómeno ocurrirá al atardecer y el Sol estará muy bajo sobre el horizonte. Y mi tercera condición es la meteorología, pero esa no se puede predecir a estas alturas.

Caldo intenso ancora protagonista, massime fino a 39°C e temporali di calore nei pomeriggi. La fase calda prosegue, con temperature massime generalmente comprese tra 34 e 39°C a seconda delle zone. Il caldo resterà quindi ben presente, ma l’anticiclone non garantirà ovunque una stabilità piena e continua. Nel corso del pomeriggio potranno infatti svilupparsi ancora temporali di calore, soprattutto nelle aree interne e in prossimità dei rilievi, con fenomeni irregolari ma localmente anche intensi. L’instabilità tenderà ad aumentare soprattutto tra domani e giovedì 6 agosto, quando basteranno piccoli cedimenti in quota, convergenze locali e il forte riscaldamento diurno per favorire la formazione di celle temporalesche. Dove il temporale riuscirà a partire, potrà farlo rapidamente, con rovesci intensi, raffiche di vento e locali grandinate. Caldo intenso ancora protagonista dunque e lo sarà anche nei prossimi giorni, soprattutto al centro-sud, ma pomeriggi da seguire con attenzione a causa dei temporali. #Caldo #Meteo #Temporali
