The arrival of the first heat wave in Italy is scheduled for tomorrow. And according to data from the Italian Meteorological Society (Smi) , Sardinia will be the most affected region , in inland areas it will even reach 40 degrees.
In the rest of the peninsula there will still be some rain in the next few days but in general the phase of instability which from mid-April to mid-June produced exceptional amounts of rainfall seems to have ended .
From Thursday a subsidence of the high pressure is expected in the North, with thunderstorms in upper Lombardy, in the Triveneto and in general in the Northeast which will lower temperatures to 27-30 degrees in the maximum values.
In the South and on the major islands, however, it will continue to be hot, with peaks of 35 degrees. Rains are expected on Saturday and an attenuation of the heat in Romagna as well: for this area devastated by bad weather a month ago, the risk is of new, but much more contained flooding, only in areas where the drainage networks are still blocked by debris and mud.
"There will be no - they explain to Smi - perturbations capable of sending the rivers into flood, like the one a month ago in which it rained intensely for 36-48 hours in a row". By next Sunday, they underline, the heat should have subsided a bit everywhere.
