Italy has been hit by a fifth heat wave, and Slovenia faces an extraordinarily warm night.

Italy has experienced its fifth heatwave this summer, with temperatures in southern regions and islands reaching unprecedented 44°C, ten degrees above average. High humidity intensifies the feeling of heat, making it seem up to five degrees warmer. Nights are also exceptionally hot, with temperatures in many areas remaining above 30°C. Authorities in nine cities, including Bari, Cagliari, and Rome, have issued red alerts due to extreme heat. On Sicily and Sardinia, temperatures reached 43°C, though slight improvement is expected by the end of the week according to Italian health ministry data. Meteorologists predict unusually warm weather could continue into late September, with severe thunderstorms potentially affecting northern Italy and parts of Slovenia. In Slovenia, Meteoinfo reports extremely hot nights, with some areas experiencing temperatures between 24 and 28°C during the night, while coastal and Bela Krajina regions may remain hot until morning.

Deadly Heat Waves

The article discusses the severe heatwaves experienced across Europe this summer, highlighting record numbers of deaths linked to high temperatures in countries like Spain, France, and Germany. It then examines the situation in Slovenia, noting that while the summer was hotter and drier than average, there is currently no conclusive evidence linking these conditions directly to increased mortality rates. According to data from the Environmental Agency, several temperature records were broken in Slovenia, including a record 40°C in Dolenje pri Ajdovščini. However, experts caution that interpreting the relationship between extreme heat and mortality is complex due to limited statistical data and the small number of observed events.
