New high temperature alert issued in Sardinia. The Civil Protection Department's Decentralized Functional Center - Weather Sector has issued a warning valid until the evening of August 3, due to the heatwave that will cause temperatures to rise above 40 degrees Celsius, with peaks of 44 degrees Celsius between Sunday and Monday.

The areas where the highest temperatures are expected are the inland ones, but the heat wave, it is explained, will then reach the entire island.

Tropical nights will also be recorded in the next few days, with temperatures above 20 degrees and in many areas even above 25 degrees.

ADVICE - Avoid going out during the hottest hours, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, especially for those at risk. Indoors, protect yourself from the sun's heat with curtains or blinds. In general, eat light meals and plenty of fruit, drink adequately, and avoid alcohol and caffeine.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and hats, and avoid synthetic fibers. If there are sick people in the home, make sure they aren't overly covered. Those at risk include: the elderly, those who are not self-sufficient, or those recovering from illnesses, people who regularly take medications, infants and young children, and those who exercise or perform intense work outdoors.

In addition to the health risks, the fire risk will also remain high.
