In Sassari rain is expected from Tuesday, October 6, with precipitation forecast for three days and a possible peak on the first day. According to 3B Meteo, the change will bring an autumnal feel, but will be accompanied by temperatures that are still high for the time of year.
Tuesday is expected to be the wettest day of the week. The forecast points to a return of fairly persistent rainfall, rather than a brief spell of bad weather: the most unsettled conditions are expected from Tuesday and should continue over the following two days. This is a trend forecast as of the morning of October 5, not confirmation of weather that has already occurred.
Highs, however, will remain above the October average and may reach 27 degrees during the warmest part of the day. Lows are expected to be around 18 degrees and, according to the information provided, will rarely fall below this threshold. Rain and mild temperatures may therefore coincide in Sassari during the middle of the week.
The forecast describes an initial shift toward more typically autumnal conditions after a long, very hot summer, but not a sharp change in temperatures. The unsettled weather expected in the hours following the forecast’s publication also comes in a context that remains warm: Rai meteorologist Matteo Tidili noted that a decisive autumnal change had not yet taken hold in Sardinia and that an organized weather system had yet to pass through.
As evidence of the unseasonable warmth, Tidili cited the monthly average recorded in September by the Cagliari-Elmas weather station: 25.6 degrees, a figure that, according to the report, surpassed the previous record of 25.1 degrees, set in 2022. The figure relates to Cagliari-Elmas and provides a benchmark for the month just ended, distinct from the local forecast for Sassari.
The forecast for Sassari comes after a September marked by high temperatures in Sardinia, as also covered in an earlier article on the September heat. For Sassari, the key development to watch in the coming days is the combination of rain expected from Tuesday and highs that remain above average: a gradual transition, with mild daytime temperatures despite increasing unsettled conditions.
