The heat that is hitting Italy again, and much of Europe, is already recording peaks of 36 degrees over the weekend, 6/7 ° C above the average for the period, but from Monday a great heat wave is coming that will bring peaks of 40/42 ° C in the Po Valley, Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio.
The Adriatic sector and the south will instead experience a warm but not exceptional phase. These are the forecasts of Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist of the site www.iLMeteo.it.
“If Italy will suffer next week, Portugal and Spain with 47 ° C recorded and Paris and London with 40 ° C forecast are certainly not better – underlines the expert – in particular in England there is maximum alert, red color, for the African heat. The current London record is 37.8 ° C, written in July 2 years ago “.
For Giussoni, in our country, “with freezing around 4800 meters, our glaciers will suffer even more and African temperatures will also affect the king of European mountains: Mont Blanc at 4809 meters will see temperatures rise up to the expected peak Wednesday 20 July “.
“Among the most affected cities, from Monday 18 July, many from Lombardy and Emilia: among these Reggio Emilia, Mantua, Lodi and Cremona, but around 40 ° C there will also be Verona, Turin and Milan – adds Giussoni – Just in Milan the absolute record of heat that has resisted since 11 August 2003 with + 39.3 ° C, recorded by the Brera station in the historic institute that has been measuring data since 1763, is at risk; over 38.1 ° C on 7 July 1957 “.
