  • Heatwave in Italy<br>epa10751450 A thermometer outside a pharmacy displays '42 degrees Celsius' in Rome, Italy, 17 July 2023. Southern Europe is experiencing a major heat wave this week with temperatures expected to climb up to 48 Celsius degrees on the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Italy's health ministry sent on 17 July a circular letter to the country's regional governments with a series of recommendations to manage the impact of the intense heat wave the country is enduring. These recommendations include setting up a 'heat code' at emergency rooms with special, priority procedures for people suffering heat-related health issues. EPA/MASSIMO PERCOSSI
