Italy expects sunshine, rising temperatures next week

An anticyclone is expected to bring sunshine and rising temperatures to Italy next week, particularly for the May 1st holiday. This shift follows weeks of unsettled weather across the country. The weather forecast anticipates a "laborious" arrival of the anticyclone, with the risk of rain appearing to be averted for Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday, April 26th in Rome. Rain is expected on the 25th, but the weekend will be sunnier, with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius. The week will start with unstable weather, but by Tuesday, April 29th, an African anticyclone will bring mostly sunny conditions and rising temperatures, with the May 1st holiday looking promising.
