African sun and heat: the month of June ends with a brief heat wave in the Centre-South (the third of the summer) destined to continue in the South and Sicily until Monday. Here, between this Sunday and Monday, the peak of the African blaze is expectedespecially in Sicily where it can reach 40 degreesthe. In the Center the hottest areas will be Abruzzo and Molise where, until the beginning of the weektemperatures could exceed 35°C. In the North and in Tuscany the oppressive heat and mugginess have eased after the passage of perturbation no. 10, the last of the month: a storm front that has hit especially the Aosta Valley and western Piedmont.
This Sunday will be followed by variable weather with instability expected to be limited to the mountainous areas. Finally, at the beginning of July, a summer break is expected also in the Centre-South, thanks to the passage of the first two disturbances of the month.: n.1 between Monday and Tuesday, n.2 between Tuesday evening and Thursdayaccompanied by rain, showers, thunderstorms and a significant drop in temperatures (even 10-12 degrees in the South and in Sicily), thanks to the entry of a cooler and more intense north-western ventilation.
