Prediction: The heat is not over
“The anticyclone will be prevalent from September 3-4 and the temperature will be above average. There will be some episodes of instability during this period,” explains Ambro Meteorological Technician. Roberto Nanni.
“So expect intense heat and widespread humidity for another 10 dayswith above-average temperatures (up to 6 degrees above average in early September). Atmospheric models show a glimmer of hope for the September 5-10 period, when after months of absence we see a hint of an Azores anticyclone fueled by a lunge off the US that could push our way. If that happens, we can bring a cooler core from Iceland.
