Seven red dots and nine orange ones. In yellow, instead, the rest of the 27 monitored cities. No municipality in green. This is the scenario photographed by the Ministry of Health for Wednesday, July 15. Among the cities where the alert will be at the third level – indicating emergency conditions potentially risky for the health of even healthy and active people, and not only the more fragile groups – are Bologna, Brescia, Florence, Frosinone, Perugia, Rome, and Turin. The heat peak is expected precisely between Wednesday and Thursday.

The third heat wave
Monday, July 13 marked the start of a week of intense heat and atmospheric stability which, according to the forecasts of Federico Brescia from iLMeteo.it, will see the hot air mass of North African origin head straight towards Italy, mainly affecting the center-south and Sardinia, but not sparing the north.
One of the regions most affected by the third heat wave of the year – which arrived last week after those at the end of May and the second half of June – is Sardinia. On the island, the new alert for adverse weather conditions issued by the regional Civil Protection will be valid at least until Friday, July 17.

Maximum temperatures will continue to be high, above 37 degrees, and in the inland areas they may reach 43 degrees. In the Ottana valley, in Logudoro and in Campidano, peaks above 45 degrees are expected.
Unlike what happened during the first two waves, in which the African anticyclone only grazed the peninsula, the trajectory of the current hot air mass is shifted more to the east and is therefore fully impacting Italy.
