Red alerts for heatwaves down from six Friday to two Saturday, only Bari and Bolzano

The number of cities with red alerts due to heatwave risks is decreasing. According to the latest data from the bulletin published by the Ministry of Health, today six cities are under maximum alert due to the possible effects of heatwaves on the healthy population. Tomorrow, August 15th, only Bolzano and Bari will be under red alert. Finally, on Sunday the 15th, only the capital of Puglia will remain under red alert. This is a dramatic decrease, considering that on August 6th, all 27 large urban centers monitored were under red alert. Saturday is the popular mid-August Ferragosto holiday for the Catholic Feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © Copyright ANSA
