Italy faces fourth summer heatwave as warnings cover 27 cities

Italian health authorities have issued weather warnings across 27 major cities as the country faces its fourth heatwave of the summer. In Rome, temperatures climbed to around 37 degrees Celsius, forcing tourists and residents to seek shade in public parks and gather around water fountains to cope with the sweltering conditions.

The Health Ministry advised the public to remain hydrated and stay out of direct sunlight during peak hours to avoid heat-related illnesses. The recurring high temperatures reflect broader environmental challenges affecting the region as heatwaves continue across Southern Europe.
