On his Instagram profile, Betti predicts the peak will occur \u201cbetween August 27 and 30,\u201d with temperatures that \u201cwill often exceed 40 degrees in Sardinia, Sicily, Calabria, Basilicata, and Puglia,\u201d and peaks reaching \u201c44\u201345 degrees between Thursday and Saturday in central-southern Sardinia and the inland areas of Sicily, Puglia, and Basilicata.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-il-centro-nord-non-resta-ai-margini\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Central and Northern Regions Are Not Left Behind<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Betti, the heat will spread up the peninsula to affect \u201cthe lower Po Valley, Umbria, Tuscany, and Lazio, with highs reaching 37\u201338 degrees\u201d as early as Friday, a day he describes as \u201cthe most challenging.\u201d This figure slightly lowers the highest estimates circulating about Rome and characterizes the heat wave as a phenomenon that is gradually moving northward from the south toward central Italy and the Alpine regions, where the sweltering heat will return.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-notti-roventi-e-polveri-sahariane\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scorching nights and Saharan dust    <\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the highs, Betti points out an often-overlooked factor: the lows. Between Thursday and Saturday, \u201ctemperatures approaching 30 degrees are not ruled out in southern Calabria, Sicily, and southern Sardinia.\u201d <strong>These are the so-called tropical nights<\/strong>\u2014nights when the body finds no respite even after sunset\u2014which take a particularly heavy toll on the elderly and people with chronic conditions. To complicate matters, <strong>\u201ca significant influx of desert dust\u201d is also expected on Friday<\/strong>, linked to the same Atlantic trough that will bring heavy thunderstorms to the Alps while simultaneously drawing subtropical air masses toward the south.<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-una-stagione-di-ondate-ravvicinate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A season of frequent waves<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The picture that emerges confirms a now-recurring pattern: intense heat, a brief lull, then another heat wave. The difference this time is in the duration: not a two- or three-day episode, but a phase that, according to Betti\u2019s estimates, will last a full week. For Sicily, Puglia, the Ionian coast of Calabria, and Sardinia, the meteorologist warns, this isn\u2019t even a new event but \u201cthe continuation of the abnormal heat wave already underway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<h3 id=\"h-cosa-resta-da-capire\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What remains to be understood<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The inland areas of the South\u2014those most exposed to heat waves of 44\u201345 degrees\u2014also remain the regions with the oldest populations and the most fragile healthcare infrastructure. Forecasts are becoming increasingly accurate in predicting where and how long the heat will last: the open question is who, in those same areas, truly has the means to endure it for an entire week\u2014and not just for a single day of emergency.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The peak is expected between August 27 and 30, but according to meteorologist Giulio Betti, the heat wave will last a full week.
