Trieste’s weather changed from summer-hot on Friday, to rainy & chilly on Saturday, right on time for the first day of autumn.
Intense heat has been the theme of Italy this summer, with multiple heatwaves and resulting climate events, including wildfires and floods.
As Saturday marked the autumnal equinox, officially ending summer, Italy is due some reprieve. Cool air and “fresh winds” are projected to put an end to the scorching temperatures, according to Italian weather website Meteo.it.
Fine weather is expected in Trieste with highs in 23C and clouds with sunny spells are predicted for most of Friuli Venezia Giulia on Monday.
The beginning of the week will also be characterized by temperatures “generally close to normal”, while mid-week could see mercury levels rise once again and a return to “unusually warm weather” for the period.
Weather website Il Meteo described this as a “boom of warm”.
