Italy's heatwave to worsen
Baku, July 30, AZERTAC
The heatwave gripping Italy is set to intensify on Tuesday with 13 major cities on red alert, the health ministry warned on Monday, according to ANSA.
While only six major urban centres on Sunday were on red alert, meaning the heat is so intense it represents a threat for healthy people, their number rose to 11 on Monday and is set to increase to 13 on Tuesday, according to the ministry.
The cities on red alert Monday were Bologna, Bolzano, Brescia, Campobasso, Florence, Frosinone, Latina, Milan, Palermo, Perugia and Rieti. The list on Tuesday is expected to include Rome, Turin and Naples while Campobasso will become orange.
Viterbo will also be on red alert on Wednesday while Naples and Palermo will turn yellow - a pre-alert level over a possible heatwave, the ministry added.
