Boom of heat, peaks up to 45 °

The African anticyclone returns to expand throughout Italy. An absolute domination that until Saturday 31 July will guarantee stable and very hot days. But from Sunday 1 August it changes, with Northern Italy that will again be hit by heavy storms. The iLMeteo.it team announces that today, Wednesday 28 July, some residual time may still threaten the Alpine and Pre-Alpine areas, especially after mid-day and by the evening hours; elsewhere we will have more stable weather conditions, with lots of sun and constantly increasing temperatures. Sun and heat are intensifying also on Thursday 29, when a scorching good weather will envelop the whole country, with peaks of up to 45 ° C in the southern regions by Saturday. Of note are some scattered thunderstorms which, on Friday 30 July, may once again affect the Alpine, Pre-Alpine and high plains of the North. On Sunday, however, an unstable front of Atlantic origin will probably be able to break through the high pressure wall starting from the central-western Alpine arc, giving rise to particularly intense storm phenomena with the risk of new, intense, precipitation and hailstorms on the Alps, Prealps, on the plains of Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. By the evening hours some showers could encroach on Liguria and Tuscany, while it will go much better on the rest of the Center and the South. Today – in the North, thunderstorms alternating with bright spells over the Alps. In the center, all sun. In the south, ample sunshine. Thursday 29 – in the North, isolated afternoon showers over the western Alpine sectors, sun elsewhere. In the center, ample sunshine. In the South, lots of sun and heat with peaks up to 44-45 ° C in the Sicilian inland areas. Friday 30 – in the North, thunderstorms on the Alps, Prealps and locally high plains. Dry elsewhere. In the center, good weather prevails. In the South, the stable, sunny and very hot phase continues.
