African temperatures in Italy with the arrival of the anticyclone Minos which will bring the heat of the Sahara to our entire country in a weather pattern characterized by full summer.
Today, Monday 17 June, explains iLMeteo.it, peaks of 35°C are expected in Puglia and Sicily, 33°C in Campania and Basilicata (Benevento and Matera). But the thermometer will continue to rise, even in the Centre-North.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 18th, the maximum temperatures will reach up to 38°C in Sicily and Sardinia (but not excluding local peaks of 41°C, such as in Perfugas and Mara in the Sassari area), 36°C in Benevento and Foggia but, for the first once in 2024, even 34°C in Rome, Florence and Frosinone.
The first peak of the heat will be reached between Wednesday and Thursday with extreme, exceptional values: Benevento and Foggia 40°C, Matera and Potenza (at 800 meters) 38°C, Catania will be boiling with 37°C in the shade like Florence, Arezzo , Rome, Terni and Forlì. Locally, on the Major Islands, peaks of 42-43°C cannot be ruled out.
A wave of heat that it could be very longin the North at least until the summer solstice, this year the solstice will take place on Thursday 20 June at 10.50 pm, while in the Centre-South well beyond this astronomical date, perhaps even indefinitely.
