After a small break that brought storms and showers, Italy is preparing for a scorching weekend heat wave.
The already high temperatures will climb even higher as hot air from the Sahara makes its way up to Italy.
The African heat wave is expected to bring the hottest temperatures to central Italy. Experts predict that the mercury will rise well above 35°C (95°F) in the most affected areas.
The above average temperatures will be accompanied by high humidity as well, making it the perfect time to escape the city and head for Italy’s top 10 beaches or most beautiful parks.
