I came back from Seville last night... in the last few days in peninsular Italy the temperatures have dropped considerably and it's cool, especially at night...

Starting tomorrow there will be a moderate drop in temperature also in the south of Italy and on Saturday in the south of the Balkans... From Sunday to Thursday I will be in Seville, Andalusia, for holiday

The summer of 2022 was officially the second hottest in Italy, after the summer of 2003. It is still very hot in the south Yesterday 36 C in Catania Sigonella(Sicily)

Today the strong heat has returned in southern Italy, in Sicily and in a part of central Italy.

August 2022 is actually less hot than July, however southern Italy and the Balkan area are experiencing a remarkably hot month, while the northernmost areas have been spared more. However, summer 2022 in Italy is likely to be the second or third hottest in the time series.

After a few days of respite and some strong thunderstorms, from today the strong heat starts to hit peninsular Italy again

July 2022 was the second hottest in the time series for peninsular Italy. 2022 is currently the hottest year in Italy.

In the next few days we will have the data for July but I can anticipate that the period of June-July 2022 in peninsular Italy is the second or third hottest of the historical series.

This very hot July continues, one of the hottest in peninsular Italy

July is also proving to be one of the hottest in Italy, similar to July 2003

The Mediterranean summer is a nighmare

In these days a temporary attenuation of the heat is taking place, more sensitive in the Adriatic regions, weaker in the Tyrrhenian ones but the extreme heat will soon return to peninsular Italy and the western Balkans.

From the second half of May, an exceptionally warm period began in the southern Balkans. 2 days ago 39 C was reached in Tirana, 38 C in Podgorica but for weeks the highs in the two cities almost always exceed 35 C.

Today 37 C in Rome, with quite low relative humidity.

Starting tomorrow, a further worsening of the heat is expected in the regions of the Italian peninsula, with maximums above 37/38 C next week in cities such as Rome, Naples, Bari.

The heat records of June 27, 2022 Meteo Italia: CALDO a Giugno come non era mai successo, tutti i dati definitivi dei record - METEO GIORNALE WWW.METEOGIORNALE.IT Il 27 giugno si è scritta una pagina di meteo storica. La vampata di caldo sahariano ha mostrato entità eccezionale soprattutto sulle regioni centrali

Rome Ciampino had various readings of 39 ° (always rounded) in the early afternoon: the peak of 37.5 ° C of June 1982 was certainly exceeded, while the absolute record should remain unassailable at this lap. Rome Fiumicino: 38 degrees for a long period between late morning and early afternoon. The record for June of 36.5 °, dating back to 2019, has been disintegrated. The absolute record of 38.6 ° C dating back to July 1983 may also have fallen, but perhaps it has resisted. Roma Urbe: the record for June was 38.0 ° C and dated back to 2019, it was destroyed today with various measurements at 40 ° C; the absolute record of 40.5 ° C in August 2007 could also have fallen, but that is not certain.

Tomorrow it could touch and exceed 40 C degrees in Rome, beating the monthly records of 1982 and 2019 and in Caserta, my hometown in Campania, where 40 C was exceeded only once in July and once in August. ...

Today 38 C are expected in Rome. This June should be the second hottest postwar in peninsular Italy, after that of 2003.

Today is the first scorching day of this third heat wave, with highs widely above 35 ° in the Po valley and especially in Tuscany and Sardinia. On the coasts, the heat is slightly more contained but extremely sultry. In the next few days the heat will intensify and even more from Friday it will exceed 36/38 degrees in Rome, Naples, Bari, even 38/39 in Cagliari and Florence, with a further worsening of heat at the beginning of next week in the south . Temperatures above 35 ° in the plains are also expected in the south of the Balkans, with peaks of 40 °.

Starting tomorrow but especially from Wednesday to Saturday, many locations in peninsular Italy will exceed 40 °, in some cases beating the monthly records of the month of June, which are concentrated in the years 1982,2003,2007 and 2019. Even the hill towns they will have temperatures widely above 35/37 degrees, with peaks of 40/41. In particular, in Sardinia it will be possible to locally exceed 45 °, a temperature worthy of the Tunisian hinterland. But with the warming underway these things are now more and more frequent in the summer.

I decided to create this topic to follow the indicated areas, because northern Italy follows different patterns and needs a separate discussion from the Italian peninsula. After a very hot month of May in the second part, June seems able to be among the hottest of the historical series, above all for the persistence and continuity of the heat, which is a characteristic of the current Italian trend.

This topic actually talks about all of Italy but it is necessary to specify which area you want to deal with: the Alpine area and northern Italy belong to political Italy but not to peninsular Italy, which is lower in latitude. Sicily also often detaches itself a lot from peninsular Italy. I generally consider the area that goes from Cesena to Salerno.

The strong heat is the main protagonist of this month in peninsular Italy, where, as already happened in May, June will probably be among the top 3 or 4 hottest in the historical series.
