    ROME - Southern Italy is bracing for what could be the hottest weather of the year, with temperatures forecast to reach extreme levels in the coming days, raising concerns over power grid stability, wildfire risk, and public health.

    The island of Sicily could see temperatures soar to 45 degrees Celsius this week, according to data released by Italian meteorological service Il Meteo on Monday. If confirmed, it would mark the highest temperature recorded in Italy since early 2024 and approach the European all-time record of 48.8 degrees Celsius, also set in Sicily in 2021.

    Palermo, the capital city of Sicily, will be under a red alert on Tuesday, authorities said. Under the alert system, even healthy individuals are advised to remain indoors during peak heat hours to avoid heat-related illnesses.

    Meteorologists warned that the hot and dry conditions are likely to strain power grids due to increased energy consumption, and significantly raise the risk of wildfires in southern regions.

    Meanwhile, contrasting weather patterns are expected in northern Italy, where strong winds and thunderstorms may bring localized disruptions, Il Meteo reported.

    June was already the hottest month on record across Western Europe, according to regional climate monitoring agencies, and current trends suggest continued extreme weather into late July.

    Authorities across Italy have urged residents to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities, and follow emergency services guidance during the ongoing heatwave.
