Italy is bracing for the third heat wave of summer 2026: temperatures are expected to rise sharply in the North and Central and Southern Italy. The intense heat could last until the third week of July.
On Tuesday the 30th, three more cities will be added to the list of those under maximum alert. Storms will arrive on Wednesday, bringing temperatures back to seasonal levels.
High pressure will dominate Italy over the weekend of June 13-14, with sunshine from north to south and rising temperatures, with temperatures reaching 34 degrees Celsius. Thunderstorms are possible in the Northeast starting Monday.
The first weekend of June brings sunshine and summer weather to central and southern Italy, while the north remains unsettled with some rain. Temperatures are rising sharply, with the highest temperatures in the south and on the islands.
The heat returns with the African anticyclone, bringing temperatures above 40°C to the Italian peninsula. We'll have to wait until mid-next week, with the Azores anticyclone, for things to cool down.
The new African anticyclone arrives from Sunday and promises to rewrite the heat records in the country. In Rome, 43° is expected, while on the Islands it could reach 48°. Temperatures drop not before 22 July
