After the wave of bad weather that hit especially Tuscany, Liguria, Lombardy and Trentino, and which will lose intensity over the weekend, the climate in the North will be more livable and unstable. In this part of the peninsula, in fact, the “phase of 37-38 degrees” is basically over. In the Center, the heat “will be moderate and typically summery.” The South, on the other hand, will continue to be caught in the grip of the heat: “The African anticyclone will oppressively persist until early September, with new extreme peaks of 40-42 degrees.” This is the picture of an Italy split into three zones taken by Lorenzo Tedici, media meteorologist responsible for iLMeteo.it. According to Tedici, it is still too early to say goodbye to the abnormal temperatures that have repeatedly affected the country since the end of May.

Maximum alert
After a few days of respite, red alerts return to the South. Over the weekend, the maximum alert is expected – the third level, indicating emergency conditions with possible negative effects even on the health of healthy and active people and not only on that of at-risk subgroups – in Bari and Palermo, confirming the persistence of greater criticalities in the South compared to the North. It had been since August 16 that the Ministry of Health bulletin had not recorded red alerts.
In the Apulian capital, according to estimates from the National Competence Center for the Prevention of Heat Effects on Health of the Civil Protection Department, on Saturday and Sunday the maximum temperature, from 29 and 28 degrees at 8 a.m., will reach a perceived temperature of 37 degrees.
