new African flame, 10 ° C above average for at least a week »ILMETEO.it

Editorial 2 AugustNew African blaze over central-western Europe: in the coming days the North African high pressure, as it has already done at least 5 times since May, will push northwards, ideally crossing the Strait of Gibraltar: in fact, the Iberian Peninsula will be the first region to be affected by the expansion of the Camel, as it is defined in meteorological jargon the African anticyclone.
From the Spain the anomalous heat will head along a proven route, from the Pyrenees towards the Alps: temperatures of 10 ° C above the August average, already high, are expected initially over France then between Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

It’s Italy? Our country will be reached by the peak of heat between Thursday and Friday, especially in the northern regions and on the Tyrrhenian side, with possible 39-40 ° C in the shade.
40 ° C is a value that no longer creates surprise, wonder or rather, anguish: however, it is worth remembering that the climatological average values ​​at the beginning of August are much lower. According to the climatology of the thirty-year period 1971-2000, in Turin and Genoa there are usually a maximum of 28 ° C, in Milan 29 ° C, in Bologna 31 ° C, in Florence 33 ° C, in Rome 32 ° C; in the South ‘normal’ values ​​of 31 ° C in Naples, 30 ° C in Bari, 32 ° C in Cagliari.
Among the hottest ‘climatologically’ we find the station of Catania Sigonellawith the data for the first ten days of August reporting 34 ° C: it is a weather site in the hot inland areas of eastern Sicily not too far from Floridia in the province of Syracuse, where a year ago, on 11 August 48 were recorded , 8 ° C new European record.
In short, in practice we always touch more often values ​​10 ° C warmer than averagelocally even 15 ° C: these exaggerated values ​​are an example of an extreme weather event predicted by Global Warming researchers, representing the projection that numerous industrialized states have denied for decades.

Lorenzo Tedici, meteorologist of the site www.iLMeteo.it, confirms instead that it is all true, yet another wave of African heat will hit central-western Europe, just under 15 days from the French and German absolute historical records. This time we will probably beat the records for the month of August and not the annual values, but the European heat-up will be very important and decisive.

In Italy, temperatures of up to 38-39 ° C are expected in Florence, Rome, Bologna, Milan and even 40 ° C in inland areas of Sardinia; but some other areas will be hit by the hot African anticyclone, dal Camel that with its humps it will push the North African air north in a ‘warm 2022’ revival that we have unfortunately learned by heart.
