Republic Day with the helmet of Scipio
.
In the next few hours a meteorological figure, renamed precisely Scipio the African, will retrace the deeds of the leader, affirming an overbearing hegemony,
from Tunisia to the Apennines: we are talking about the African anticyclone Scipio who will rise up the Italian territory bringing record heat values for the month of June,
especially since we are only at the beginning of the month.
Andrea Garbinato, Editor of the website www.
iLMeteo.it,
confirms that the heat wheel has been activated, in fact from Portugal an Atlantic cyclone pushes hot air from North Africa to the Central Mediterranean on its eastern flank: a classic, when there is a vortex over Western Europe, here are the warm flows from the hinterland Tunisian-Algerian desert towards our country!
And this wheel will be exaggerated because it will seamlessly push hot air bringing the thermometer up to 42/43 ° C in the shade in the inland areas of the major islands.
The warm North African tongue will bring an exceptional value of 26/27 ° C to 850 hPa during the weekend, with the adiabatic compression this value will bring 42/43 ° C to the ground in a column of dry air;
if the column is more humid, the maximums will struggle to rise above 40 ° C in a context of suffocating heat.
We will see what will happen, in this super hot recipe we will have to consider any falling winds and thermal breezes, in certain wind conditions we can reach 42/43 ° C even in a context that is not strictly dry.
The problem is that by associating the values of temperature and humidity, in any case, regardless of the peak recorded on the thermometer, we will experience a typically North African, Algerian, Tunisian period and if we are not careful to avoid sudden sunstrokes, we will see dates, camels, dunes. of the Sahara at our home and maybe even Scipio the African himself!
So be careful, we avoid heat stroke and drink a lot of water, the sunscreen must have a very high protection factor, the rays affect as in early July and the days are very long, about 15 hours and 30 minutes of warm light!
