The war between Moscow and Kiev creates contradictions in the labor market in Sulcis, Sardinia, where workers at Eurallumina, affected by anti-Russia sanctions, fight to save their jobs, while those at Rwm, a manufacturer of weapons and explosives, see their business grow. #DirittoAlLavoro #Guerra #Operai (translated)

Ultimora.net reported that Umbria had become the fifth Italian region to adopt a law on assisted suicide, following Tuscany, Sardinia, Emilia-Romagna, and Veneto. According to the site, the regional council had a center-left majority and President Stefania Proietti had decided not to participate in the vote. #Umbria #SuicidioAssistito #Politica (translated)

Marco M.M. had forecast continued bad weather in Italy for Wednesday, October 21, with the most intense phenomena moving towards the Center and then the South, and a drop in temperatures. In the Northwest, he expected a gradual improvement, while widespread and locally heavy rains would affect the central-eastern Alpine sectors and, more irregularly, the Po Valley and Emilia-Romagna. According to his forecast, downpours and thunderstorms would particularly involve Lazio, Tuscany, and Umbria, before extending to Marche and Abruzzo. In the South, the deterioration would affect Campania, Molise, Puglia, Basilicata, and Calabria, especially on the Adriatic and Ionic sides; in Sicily, locally intense thunderstorms were possible in the east, while Sardinia would remain more on the margins. Marco M.M. also indicated temperatures of about 2-6°C around 1500 meters in the northwestern sectors and a decrease in the zero degree altitude in the Western Alps, locally at 1700-2200 meters, with possible snowfall at higher elevations. He warned that, in the most exposed areas, a few hours of intense rain could cause critical issues, recommending caution without alarmism. #Maltempo #Meteo #Italia (translated)

Marco M.M. wrote that high-resolution weather model analyses indicated a phase of bad weather for the following day over part of Italy, with locally intense precipitation possible. According to the author, an Atlantic disturbance coming from the western Mediterranean would have triggered humid southern currents, whose interaction with the mountain ranges and the convergence of winds at the surface would have favored the stronger phenomena. Liguria would have been the region to monitor with greater attention: downpours and thunderstorms could have begun as early as the night, especially between the western and central sectors, before extending to the east. Marco M.M. specifically noted the Savonese, the Genovese, and later the Spezzino, where accumulations in a few hours could have caused hydrogeological issues. The author also forecasted widespread precipitation in Piedmont, particularly in the western and northern areas, in Aosta Valley, and in Lombardy, especially to the west and in the Alps. In Emilia-Romagna, the worsening weather would have mainly affected the western sectors and the Apennines; in the Northeast, the phenomena would generally have been less intense, although rain was expected in the alpine and prealpine elevations. Tuscany would also have required attention, with possible strong thunderstorms from the afternoon and especially between evening and night along the coast, in Lunigiana, Versilia, Garfagnana, and in the Apennine mountains. The location of the most intense cells remained uncertain, he clarified. The worsening weather would then extend to Umbria and Lazio, especially to the west and north. In Marche and Abruzzo, less widespread precipitation was expected. In Sardinia, scattered and locally intense downpours and thunderstorms were possible, especially in the west and north; part of the more organized activity could have remained over the surrounding seas. In the South, according to Marco M.M., dry intervals and clearings would have prevailed, without excluding localized instability between the Ionian Calabria and eastern Sicily. The author also predicted a strengthening of southern and southwestern winds, with strong gusts over the Tyrrhenian Sea, around Sardinia, and along the exposed coasts. He urged caution without alarmism and noted a new disturbed impulse between Wednesday the 21st and Thursday the 22nd, accompanied by a moderate temperature drop of 3-5 °C over most of the Peninsula. #Maltempo #PrevisioniMeteorologiche #Autunno (translated)

Marco M.M. has predicted an increase in cloudiness and instability in the coming hours over the western areas of the Peninsula, attributing it to a large cold drop over Western Europe. He indicated possible scattered rains in the Northwest, along the Tuscan coasts, locally in Sardinia and in Upper Lazio. For the period between Tuesday the 20th and Thursday the 22nd, he has forecast the arrival of a more intense Atlantic disturbance, with a drop in temperatures of 4-6 °C in the Center-North and 2-4 °C in the Center-South. According to Marco M.M., the first snow could fall in the central-eastern Alps above 1,500 meters. He announced that he would provide further insight into the evolution the following day, assessing whether it was a lasting atmospheric change or an isolated episode. #meteo #neve #perturbazione (translated)

Marco M.M. has predicted a moderate increase in temperatures between Wednesday and Friday, especially in the western areas of the Peninsula, where temperatures could reach 25°C. According to his analysis, minimum temperatures would remain stable between 10 and 15°C, while the rise in temperatures would be more contained in the east; the weather would generally remain stable and sunny. For the weekend, he indicated the arrival of cooler air from Eastern Europe, which could bring a more significant drop in temperatures in the eastern areas and instability over the Tyrrhenian Sea, starting from Sardinia. Marco M.M. added that the evolution needed to be confirmed between the following day and the day after, although it already appeared quite solid to him. #MeteoItalia #PrevisioniMeteo #Temperature (translated)
