The last weekend of August brings relief from extreme heat for many Italians returning from vacation, as the African anticyclone weakens over much of the Italian Peninsula. While central and northern regions experience more moderate temperatures, southern areas remain extremely hot, with peaks reaching up to 40°C in places like Caltanissetta. Temperatures slightly decrease by Sunday but still remain high in the south. Monday offers a calm return to work with mild conditions, though early September could bring Atlantic disturbances leading to rain in parts of the north and center. Long-term forecasts suggest a potential sixth heatwave from Africa in late September 2026.
