Sultry heat also in Olbia (36 degrees), while in Sassari and Cagliari the maximum temperatures reached on Sunday were, respectively, 33 and 32 degrees.

And, with Cerberus looming, the regional civil protection has also issued a fire risk alert for Monday in various areas of the island, including the Cagliari area .

The danger level remains "high", marked by the orange colour , which warns against fires which "if not dealt with in a timely manner can reach such dimensions as to make them difficult to contrast with ordinary forces, even if reinforced", making it necessary to intervene state fleet aircraft for firefighting operations.
