We are talking about this exceptional and dramatic heat in France, which is a feat, because it may hit Italy later.

Already From tomorrow On our country The thermometer rises again A cold anticyclone off the Azores will leave us: but the worst will come from early next week. The red-hot bubble of Normandy should really expand to Germany, the Alpine regions and then to our north: even in the Po valley there will be a risk of 42-43 ° C in the shade, which will be an absolute record!

Forecasts indicate this, but beyond 5/6 days, even in summer, this trend needs to be followed and confirmed: the African heat will definitely return, and this summer it will surely race towards a very unbearable and red-hot stage. . Often he climbs the top step of the stage; But as for over 40°C in the shade in the Po Valley, we await confirmation even though the forecast is more and more likely.

In this climate of intense heat, we try to still enjoy the pleasant warmth of these days in the company of the Azores anti-cyclone: Today Temperatures in the Mid-South will be below average; They are also expected Widespread rainfall across the entire Apennine ridge. A few showers between the Eastern Alps and Prealps, freshening over the mountains and local and nearby lowlands in the afternoon.
Good news for the next few hours, with temperatures below average and rain: but from tomorrow we prepare for a new African anticyclone already high in the Iberian Peninsula: 43-44 ° C is widely reached in the inland areas. East of Lisbon and part of Spain, Andalusia and Extremadura, values ​​will increase rapidly in the next few days: 46°C in Seville, 37°C in Paris and 36°C in London are expected!

While we wait to see if exceptional heat from northern Europe will trickle down to Italy, next week will see a widespread 40 degrees in the shade in the Po Valley, with high peaks associated with high humidity.
In this first phase, the African anti-cyclone seems to target part of the Italian north-west and centre, after warming the Iberian Peninsula, France and southern England; Most likely in the south, temperatures will rise more slowly, however, returning to clearly above average after a short, firm cold phase.
