Italy issues health alert over heatwaves
The Italian Ministry of Health announced that all of its 27 main cities will issue the highest heatwave warning on Thursday, as the fourth heatwave of this summer intensifies. So far, 25 cities have been under the red warning level, and the remaining two, Messina and Reggio Calabria, will escalate to the maximum level. Residents are warned of temperatures reaching up to 40°C, with no expected decrease before the end of the week, due to the influence of a high-pressure area coming from North Africa. Authorities have urged people to avoid direct sun exposure and to drink plenty of fluids, as there is a risk of health emergencies resulting from the ongoing high temperatures.
