Italy is experiencing a third heatwave that is expected to last until at least July 20. Temperatures have already reached 38–40°C during previous peaks, but a new 'normality' of 34–35°C has been established. However, temperatures are set to rise again, with 43°C forecast for parts of Sardinia on Monday. Meteorologist Lorenzo Tedici notes that average June temperatures in Italy have increased significantly over the past few decades, rising from around 30–32°C to current levels of up to 37°C in cities like Milan. While thunderstorms are expected in the coming days, particularly along the central and southern Apennines, instability will spread across much of northern Italy and the Po Valley by Friday evening through Saturday. After this period of instability, temperatures are expected to rise sharply again, with a peak of 43°C in Sardinia anticipated early next week. The heatwave will affect both northern and southern regions of Italy, unlike previous waves which mainly impacted the north.

A new wave of extreme heat is expected to hit Italy, marking the third such event in 2026. This heatwave is predicted to last at least 15 days, with temperatures potentially reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in regions like Sardinia, Sicily, and central Italy. The peak is anticipated by midweek, though the weekend may offer some relief with possible thunderstorms and hail in various areas. Currently, only two cities—Florence and Perugia—are under red alerts for extreme heat, but additional regions in Lombardy may soon follow. Record-breaking water temperatures have also been reported, with 30 degrees Celsius recorded in Jesolo. Meteorological models suggest that this heatwave is linked to the expansion of the African anticyclone and broader atmospheric patterns across Europe. Experts warn that summer 2026 could see above-average temperatures, highlighting ongoing climate concerns.
