Heatwave red warning at least until Sunday for Florence and Perugia

After Friday, a red heat warning is

confirmed for the next two days for Florence and Perugia: the

highest level of heat risk for the two regional capitals is

certified by the Ministry of Health's heatwave bulletin, which

concerns 27 urban centers.

The red alert is when even healthy people are at risk.

Florence, however, was already in the red zone yesterday, while

Perugia was in the orange zone, indicating a heat risk for the

most vulnerable.

Today, only Brescia is in the orange zone: tomorrow, it will

drop to the yellow level, indicating a pre-alert state for

possible heatwaves.

On Saturday, the orange warnings increase to four (Campobasso,

Frosinone, Rieti, and Rome) and on Sunday to six (Bologna,

Bolzano, Frosinone, Rieti, Rome, and Turin).

Three cities are green-rated (no heat risk) today (Bari,

Catania, and Naples), five tomorrow (Genoa, Naples, Trieste,

Venice, and Verona), and two on Sunday (Venice and Verona). All

other cities are yellow.
