3 October 2025

Wind and storm surge occur on Lama Monachile in Polignano a Mare, Italy, on October 3, 2025. Apulia plunges into winter. Just over 10 days ago, there is a late summer atmosphere with temperatures close to 30?C, while now heavy clothes and coats are needed to cope with temperatures typical of early December. This dramatic drop in temperatures, accompanied by heavy rain and thunderstorms, is closely linked to a cold snap from Russia, which takes advantage of a rare weather pattern for this time of year, characterized by a powerful anticyclone over Scandinavia capable of activating currents from the east towards the Mediterranean.
