Temperatures will be slightly cooler in the north, while Florence, Rome, Naples, Sicily and Puglia will be the hottest.

Weather forecaster Antonio Sanò said the wind, called Ade, has its roots in the Algerian sahara.

“In recent years these heat waves have become stronger and longer lasting, and Ade is really of exceptional intensity and size.”
