Hello, dears ... Due to personal and work commitments, I will no longer be able to write on this forum, having to "cut" some social networks ...

The month of July 2023 was incredibly hot in Algiers, with an average of 29.7 C. Summer 2023 is the hottest there but above all the linear trend that the summer warming is taking there is remarkable. Since 2019, every summer is hotter than the previous one, which was the hottest there

Hi! We are waiting for the official data but summer 2023 in Italy should have been the sixth hottest in the historical series. July had a lot of impact, since in some areas, including Rome, it was the hottest of the series. In the last few days there has been a good drop in temperature but yet another heat wave will begin shortly

July was also unusually warm in the southern Balkans and Greece. Athens had an overall average of over 32C, higher than Cairo's 91/20 30-year average, an average never experienced in Europe, with average minimum temperatures of 27C and average maximum temperatures of 37C. Spectacularly Tirana was also hot, with an average maximum temperature of over 35°C and Podgorica, with a climatic anomaly exceeding 4°C. The heat in Rome was also striking, with a climatic anomaly of over 3°C; in the Eternal City July 2023 was the hottest since the beginning of meteorological records

The last week was very hot in peninsular Italy, values similar to those of the powerful July wave were reached on the Tyrrhenian side, while on the Adriatic side the heat is less extreme but very, very muggy

Since yesterday the heat has returned to peninsular Italy, after an early part of August close to the thirty-year average of 81/10. In the next few days, 37 C will be possible in Rome, 38 C in Florence and Foggia

This brief cool interlude is now coming to an end and a new, lasting heat wave is expected throughout the Italian peninsula

Good morning! In the next few days there will be a temporary descent also in central and southern Italy, with highs widely below 29 C even in the plains

We are still waiting for the official data from the CNR but, according to some estimates, July 2023 should have been the third hottest in peninsular Italy, after July 2022 and July 2015. Yesterday still very hot in the southern Balkans, 36 C in Podgorica

Generally, the climatic trend of Rome is quite summary of that of peninsular Italy, so you can refer to the capital ... Italian summers warm up on average by 0.5 C every decade, the process began in the two-year period 1982-83 but more or less until 2002 Italian summers were not hotter than in other phases of the past, such as the 40's / 50's of the last century. Things change with the step of 2003 and get worse with the next step of 2012. Now every Italian summer adds a piece to a picture that leads us towards an African climate

The heat and high humidity rates are the protagonists of this extraordinarily hot month in peninsular Italy, a disturbing month, like the climatic trend in general. In the next few days I'm going to Budapest for a short vacation, see you again in August but I can anticipate that this July will probably be the second or third warmest in peninsular Italy (which does not include the Po and Alpine regions, let's remember that). A similar situation is taking place in Montenegro

Many heat records have been broken in recent days, including in the Rome area. In many areas of mainland Italy it is the hottest month of July, surpassing the recent July 2015. 40 C in Podgorica (Montenegro), 47 C in Algiers

In the next few days many heat records could fall from Tuscany to Campania, some monthly, some absolute. Many records date back to the months of August 2007, July 2015, August 2017, June 2019, so they are still recent, while the cold records mostly date back to the 60s/70s of the last century. Furthermore, this July 2023 in various areas, especially on the Tyrrhenian side, could be the hottest in the historical series, beating the recent July 2015 and 2022... Basically in Italy every summer adds a new element to the heating.

An extraordinary heat wave is underway in central and southern Italy, with temperatures that for many days will widely exceed 36/37 C, with peaks of 43 C in some areas highly exposed to heat peaks. Feels like being in Egypt these days.

Good morning! The heat will be very intense these days in peninsular Italy (which does NOT include northern Italy, which should be the subject of a separate thread!). Will exceed 35C for several days in Rome and Naples, probably 40C in Bari and Catania, possibly Cagliari

In truth, as I have written many times, I follow peninsular Italy, not northern Italy, so I can only tell you that Bologna too will be affected by the incoming heat wave, with maximum temperatures of 37/38 C and minimums of 22/ 24 c

A strong and prolonged heat wave is about to begin in mainland Italy, with temperatures ranging widely between 35 and 39 C for many days, perhaps weeks

I don't know, generally I don't follow storm events much, I prefer to focus on the temperature profile. Models confirm a severe heatwave but push it forward chronologically from a few days ago I don't know, generally I don't follow storm events much, I prefer to focus on the temperature profile.

June 2023 in Italy should close with an anomaly of around +0.8 C on the 81/10 average. The first part of the month was relatively cool, the second warmer, especially in the Tyrrhenian regions. A strong heat wave is expected from July 3rd.

34 C in Zagreb yesterday but even 41 C in the province of Oristano, in Sardinia

Tomorrow begins a strong heat wave in peninsular Italy, more intense from Tuesday 20 June, with temperatures widely above 34/35 C in the plains and peaks of 38/39 C. It will also be very hot in Montenegro

A severe heatwave is likely in peninsular Italy from 19 June

So far it has been a very rainy and thermally not hot June in Italy, an old-fashioned June, especially in the Adriatic regions. In the continuation, however, a possible heat wave can be glimpsed
