Sardinia above 40 degrees, with maximum temperatures that are destined to rise steadily until Wednesday, reaching extreme peaks around (or above) 45 degrees.
If heat and sultriness have dominated so far, in the next half of the second ten days of July it is not excluded that the thermometers will set a record. The conditions, according to the models, are all there.
"We are still at the mercy of African high pressure which is so vast that it manages to reach Greece, having its epicenter right in Sardinia", they explain from the Decimomannu Air Force weather service, " the problem is felt above all in the areas indoors and at night, when there is no ventilation and high pressure also tends to compress the air in the lower layers, with the accumulation of humidity».
The warmest areas will be the Campidano of Cagliari and Oristano or the plain of Ottana, while you will breathe a little more in the coastal areas due to the lower humidity rates. "Tomorrow - the weather service let us know - the areas in which temperatures will rise beyond the 40 degree threshold will be increasingly extended".
Today the exceedances have been recorded in numerous localities, according to the findings of the Arpas control units: Palmas Arborea (40.7), Milis and Masainas (40.1). The "coolest" place was Seui, with a maximum temperature of 29.3 degrees.
