The great heat is coming: but it will only last 24 hours. Thirty degrees expected for Thursday 16 May, then a sharp drop of 4-5 degrees in 12 hours.
The weather situation in Naples and Campania
The great heat arrives in Naples and Campania: by tomorrow, Thursday 16 May, 30 degrees will be reached, with almost total absence of wind. Humidity is also strong as is ultraviolet rays, which in the hottest hours will exceed the “very high” level. But everything will last just 24 hours, because already on Friday we will return to milder temperatures, with some possible showers even possible in the inland areas.
Phenomena that may be brief but intense, with all the consequences of the case. The strongest humidity will occur above all at night, while during the daytime maximum attention will have to be paid above all to ultraviolet rays, which will hit strongly even in the presence of clouds, which will increase in the second part of tomorrow, and which in inland areas they could lead to some brief local showers
How to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays
The advice of theHigher Institute of Health to protect yourself from ultraviolet rays are to limit exposure to sunlight as much as possible during the hottest hours (between 10am and 2pm); wear protective clothing such as wide-brimmed hats to adequately protect your eyes, ears, face and back of your neck; use high-protection sunglasses and tight-fitting, covering clothing; use protective sunscreens (at least +15), reapplying them every two hours or after working, swimming, or doing physical activity outdoors. Precisely in this regard, the ISS also reminds on its portal that “sun creams are not used to spend more time in the sun, but to protect oneself when exposure is unavoidable”.
