In our country, it could be worse “next week with even higher values ​​and in extension to the central regions. In the South we will experience a warm phase, but not exceptional. Italy could be reached by temperatures around 14 degrees higher compared to the climate in July: a quick calculation leads us to predict, compared to the average 28/29 ° C in Val Padana, peaks of 42/43 ° C in the middle of next week. The most extreme weather map shows the freezing point at 5,200 meters – concludes the expert – in this case we will not have subzero temperatures in any area of ​​our country, we expect record highs again up to 10 ° C even on Mont Blanc as happened a month ago, in mid-June “.
