“The worst hypotheses we had made about August are punctually coming true.” This is where the latest analysis, the latest reflection on the macro-chapter of the “anomalous heat” from the Centro Meteo Toscana starts.

The dates
Let’s get into the details of the social words from this morning (July 30) from the Cmt: “We are facing a long phase of anomalous heat that will most likely accompany us until after Ferragosto. If you remember, months ago we often talked about August 20 as the date to start hoping and probably that will be the case.”
August 20: but until then? What will happen in these three weeks? “Unfortunately – a first answer – we fear there will be few changes compared to what we see these days.”
“Yesterday (July 29) Florence reached 39.5° degrees, but then in the afternoon more humid air came in from the sea which raised both the minimum temperatures and the humidity. Humidity means maximum temperatures a little lower but we are talking about details. We leave it to you to choose whether it is better to have 41° dry degrees or 39° humid degrees. The trend will remain this way for a very long time anyway.”

The next days
For this week – returning to the short term – “the hottest day will probably be Sunday (August 2). Monday maybe some passing clouds (always with very hot temperatures), but then we will return to the usual trend,” they explain again from Centro Meteo Toscana.
And it is added: “The temperatures recorded in France yesterday confirm what awaits us next week since currently the hottest core is there, but in the next days it will move towards the Mediterranean (including Italy).”
What to do, then? From the Cmt the invitation is clear, for these three weeks between the end of July and August: “It will take a lot of patience…”
