Nights with tropical temperatures, days characterized by sultriness: a heat wave that insists particularly on Sardinia due to the Cerberus anticyclone.

Will the situation change? Not much, due to the third heat wave of 2023, confirms Antonio Sanò of iLMeteo.it: ««The heat - he says - will not end and, indeed, will double; in fact, from Sunday 16th the anticyclone Cerberus will leave the baton to the more powerful and hot anticyclone Charon who, following in the footsteps of Dante's character, will ferry us into the heart of summer. Before that, the pressure will temporarily ease in some regions".

In fact between Wednesday and Thursday an active cyclonic vortex between Iceland, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia will send the tail of a perturbation all the way to Italy. The unstable front will manifest itself in the form of heavy storms accompanied by sudden hailstorms (with large grains) and violent gusts of wind.

The areas most affected will be the Alps, but it cannot be excluded that some particularly intense storm cells may also reach the Po Valley.

From Sunday during the day it will be possible to touch 39-40°C not only in the South, but also in Rome, Florence, Bologna, Padua, Pavia, Mantua, Ferrara.
