Overview

  • On June 10, Italy is under clear skies with steadily rising temperatures and widespread sunny conditions.
  • A robust African anticyclone is forecast to settle over the country by June 13, pushing highs to around 40°C in inland areas such as Sardinia.
  • Southern regions and major islands like Sicily, Calabria and Puglia are expected to hit 33–35°C in interior zones ahead of the peak heat.
  • The incoming heat surge will bring marked humidity that is likely to intensify discomfort during both daytime and nighttime, especially in urban centers.
  • The anticyclone’s dominance should sustain stable, summer-like weather nationwide through the weekend and into early next week.
