As the weekend approaches, residents of Milan and the surrounding Lombardy region can expect a brief respite from the recent unstable weather. On Saturday, May 10, 2025, the forecast indicates no rain but rather a day characterized by very cloudy skies and cooler temperatures. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 18°C, while the minimum will drop to around 13°C.
According to forecasts, Saturday morning will begin with slightly or partially cloudy skies, providing a dry start to the day. However, as the afternoon progresses, new instability is likely to develop, leading to scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the Alpine and pre-Alpine areas. This pattern could also extend to the Milanese plain, where residents may experience localized rain.
Looking ahead to Sunday, May 11, 2025, there is optimism for improved weather conditions. Both Milan and the rest of Lombardy are expected to see a predominance of sunshine, with temperatures rising significantly. The maximum temperature could reach as high as 24°C, providing a warm and pleasant day for outdoor activities.
Despite the weekend's temporary improvement, meteorologists warn that this break from bad weather will be short-lived. Starting Monday, May 12, 2025, a new Atlantic disturbance is anticipated to sweep across the region, bringing with it widespread rain and thunderstorms. This forecast suggests that while the weekend may offer a glimpse of better weather, residents should prepare for a return to instability as the new week begins.
On Friday, May 9, 2025, the weather remained unstable in Milan and Lombardy. Morning conditions featured cloudy skies but were mostly dry across the Po Valley. As the day progressed, an increase in instability was noted, leading to the development of scattered showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures during this day ranged from 13°C at night to a high of 20°C in the afternoon, with local intensities of storms expected particularly in the Alpine regions.
The current weather data from Milan Linate airport, recorded at 20:50 on Friday, showed scattered clouds and a temperature of 18°C, with no precipitation reported. Winds were calm, contributing to the overall mild conditions. As the evening progressed, harmless cloudiness continued, with temperatures expected to drop to around 15°C.
For those planning outdoor activities over the weekend, the forecast indicates that while Saturday's weather will be variable, it will still offer opportunities for enjoyment. The expected scattered clouds in the morning will give way to clearer skies by evening, making it a pleasant time for evening strolls or gatherings.
On Saturday, the temperatures will remain stable, with a minimum of 13°C and a maximum of 18°C. Winds will be light, primarily coming from the East-South-East in the morning and shifting slightly in the afternoon. This gentle breeze will contribute to a comfortable atmosphere, ideal for enjoying the outdoors.
Sunday is projected to be even warmer, with temperatures rising to between 22°C and 25°C. The day will start with harmless cloudiness and transition to a more open sky, allowing for ample sunshine to brighten the day. While there may be isolated afternoon showers on the Alps, the overall trend indicates a positive shift in weather conditions.
As the weekend unfolds, residents are encouraged to take advantage of the milder weather while it lasts. The forecast suggests that the pleasant conditions will be replaced by rain and thunderstorms early in the following week, making outdoor plans more complicated.
In summary, while Saturday, May 10, 2025, will be a day of cool, cloudy weather with the possibility of rain in the afternoon, Sunday is expected to bring warmer temperatures and more sunshine. However, the anticipated return of rain and thunderstorms beginning Monday serves as a reminder that spring weather in Lombardy can be unpredictable. Residents should stay informed and prepared for changing conditions as the week progresses.
