Hot, next weekend with temperatures up to 39 degrees but since Wednesday fresh air from the north with rain

A heatwave is expected to hit Italy over the coming weekend, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 39 degrees Celsius in certain areas, particularly in the central and southern regions including parts of the Adriatic coast, Sardinia, and Sicily. Cities like Foggia, Ascoli Piceno, Rome, Florence, Bologna, and Milan are forecasted to experience high temperatures, with some locations possibly breaking historical records. The heat is expected to persist into the night, leading to 'tropical nights' where minimum temperatures remain above 20 degrees Celsius. In some southern areas, especially in Sicily and Sardinia, nighttime temperatures could stay above 25 degrees Celsius, referred to as 'super-tropical nights.' Meteorologists warn that cooler air from the north may arrive by Wednesday, bringing rain and potentially extreme weather conditions later in autumn.

Drought, the Sesia River unrecognizable: video footage from a drone

The article discusses the severe drought affecting the Sesia River in northern Italy, highlighting its drastically reduced water levels. Drone footage captured by residents in the municipality of Carpignano shows the river’s current state, with water levels dropping to just 82 centimeters. The riverbed is now visible, exposing the foundations of railway bridge pillars. Previously, the river experienced flooding during heavy rainfall, but now it has become a shallow trickle. This situation has led some people to use the exposed waters for swimming to escape the extreme heat of late September. The article notes that such extreme conditions are linked to climate change, which causes alternating periods of excess and scarcity.
