Italy is facing a new heatwave, being affected by an African anticyclone that brings extremely high temperatures.

On Wednesday, seven cities, including Florence, Rome, and Turin, are under a red alert, indicating a major risk to public health. The island of Sardinia is preparing for temperatures of up to 45 degrees Celsius. The Ministry of Health has also issued an orange alert for another nine cities, signaling risks for vulnerable individuals, such as the elderly and those with chronic conditions.

The warning system includes four levels, from green (no risk) to red (danger for all). Climate change is contributing to the intensification of these extreme phenomena, and authorities recommend avoiding travel during peak hours and proper hydration. Italy has already reported deaths associated with the heatwave, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.
