A new wave of extreme heat has swept across Italy and much of Europe, with temperatures expected to reach up to 45°C in some areas over the coming days.

For the third time in as many weeks, Italian authorities have declared a red alert for several cities. Today, the maximum risk level is in effect for Florence, Perugia, Brescia and Turin, while Bologna, Frosinone and Rome will be added to the list on Wednesday.

Meteorologists predict temperatures of 39°C to 41°C in most of central and southern Italy, as well as in Sardinia, while inland areas the thermometer could approach 45°C by the end of the week.

In addition to the extreme heat, Italy is also facing severe drought and a lack of water resources, especially in the Piedmont region, where authorities have raised the alarm about a water crisis.

The high temperatures have also affected daily life. In Florence, couriers for food delivery platforms have announced a strike, demanding greater protection for working outdoors during the hottest hours.

The heatwave is also affecting the rest of Europe. In the United Kingdom, temperatures above 30°C are fuelling wildfires, while in France, flames have engulfed a large part of the Fontainebleau forest. In Germany, authorities are reporting a rise in drownings, with 99 deaths in June alone.
