Twenty-two cities with the red label for the risk of heat had never seen each other this year. This is what should happen on Saturday, when the bulletin of the Ministry of Health indicates with the level 3the maximum and for the entire population (on a scale starting from 0) the urban centers of Ancona, Bari, Bologna, Bolzano, Brescia, Cagliari, Campobasso, Catania, Civitavecchia, Florence, Frosinone, Latina, Messina, Naples, Palermo , Perugia, Pescara, Reggio Calabria, Rieti, Rome, Trieste and Viterbo.
Today and tomorrow there are 19 red stickers (Bolzano, Brescia and Trieste are still orange, the level that indicates hot risk only for the most fragile). Among the other cities, Turin, Venice and Genoa will remain yellow (pre-alert conditions of a heat wave) until Saturday, while Milan and Verona will remain yellow again tomorrow, and on Saturday they will turn orange.
The map of Italy drawn by the stamps therefore sees, today and tomorrow, cooler in the North. And on Saturday 3 cities (of the 27 taken into consideration by the ministry bulletin) in the north will ‘breathe’ more: Turin, Venice and Genoa with the yellow sticker, while Milan and Verona will be in orange. Heat waves, the Ministry of Health notes on its website, occur when very high temperatures are recorded for several consecutive days, often associated with high humidity, strong solar radiation and lack of ventilation.
These climatic conditions, the ministry notes, “can represent a health risk of the population”.
The weather forecast also speaks of an increase in heat over the weekend: in Rome and Florenceaccording to reports Andrea Garbinato, meteorologist of iLMeteo.it, temperatures of 39-40 degrees and peaks of 42 degrees in the inland areas of Umbria, Lazio and Abruzzo. The peak, based on mathematical models, is expected for July 4th, then temperatures could return to drop as early as the following day.
