Naples Weather, it's the week of the African flame

Naples Weather, brief, very strong African flame with peaks of 38-40 C and unbearable heat.

Even if a glimmer of fresh air can be seen on the horizon: from Sunday, in fact, the powerful African anticyclone could lose power and leave room for storms and quick cool-downs. The next few hours will see the further expansion of a wedge of North African high pressure (with temperatures 10-12 C higher than the average for the period).

In Italy it will remain until Saturday, gradually extending from the center-north towards the south. The latest updates, however, indicate the probability of a partial collapse of the African anticyclonic field from Sunday, with the arrival of thunderstorms at times intense in the North: there could be a drop in maximum temperatures of even 7-8 C.
