TaylorSwift 164,227 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 The Italian island of Sicily may have registered the hottest temperature ever recorded in Europe - 48.8C (119.8F) The reading needs to be verified by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). Regional authorities reported the reading near Syracuse on Wednesday. The current official record in Europe is 48C, registered in Athens, Greece, in 1977. The latest heatwave in Italy is being caused by an anticyclone - nicknamed Lucifer - moving up from Africa. source Vote for me: https://www.grammy.com/vote/taylor-swift Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A MESS 3,938 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I live some km up the italian peninsula, 10 degrees less, and it's already unlivable. I have to literally shut all windows and shutters off at 11 am and can open them only at 7 pm Генерал Марина Абрамовић Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
