Italy issues heat warnings across 27 cities during fourth summer heatwave

Italy is experiencing its fourth major heatwave of the summer, prompting the country's Health Ministry to issue weather warnings across 27 major cities. In Rome, temperatures reached approximately 37 degrees Celsius, forcing residents and tourists to gather around public water fountains and seek shade in urban parks to escape the intense heat.

Italian health authorities continue to advise the public to avoid direct sunlight during peak daytime hours and maintain adequate hydration as excessive temperatures persist across the country. The high temperatures reflect broader climate challenges affecting Southern Europe this season.
