Mid-August with some clouds over the boot, with Campania and Liguria proclaiming the
yellow alert
, but the African anticyclone advances and a
new heat wave
is coming from Tuesday : the sixth in just over three months.
The Civil Protection of the
Campania
Region has issued a new yellow critical notice for rains and thunderstorms for the day of Tuesday, until 2 pm, with the exception of Alta Irpinia, Sannio and Tanagro.
Showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected, even intense ones, with consequent hydrogeological risk.
Also in
Liguria
, Arpal has extended the yellow weather alert for thunderstorms until 2 pm on Tuesday on the regional Central-Levant, where instability is expected to continue until mid-day
Already on Tuesday, however, the sixth African heat wave arrives on Italy with a more decisive interest in the Center-South: we will again touch values close to 37-38 ° C but with a higher humidity rate.
At the moment - explains Mattia Gussoni, meteorologist of the site www.iLMeteo.it - the duration of
this sixth wave seems rather short
, with the return to less suffocating temperatures already on the weekend 20-21 August.
Since May 10, there have already been five waves of marine heat that have caused a dizzying increase in temperatures in the Mediterranean with values of even 5-6 ° C above average: the Mare Nostrum has warmed up to 29-30 ° C, as the Caribbean Sea or the Red Sea.
