Rome in the Grip of Extreme Heat: Potential Record-Breaking Temperatures Predicted for the Capital

The heat continues to be relentless in Rome, with this Tuesday potentially setting a new record for extreme temperatures in the capital. Forecast maps from leading meteorology websites suggest that the eternal city could experience a peak of 42 degrees, significantly surpassing the 38 degrees recorded during the harsh summer of 2003. Even the highest recorded temperature to date - 39.4 degrees at the Rome Ciampino weather station on July 28, 1983, the same day when Rome Urbe exceeded 40 degrees - could be outdone.
