Brit tourists in Europe issued brutal 17-day warning as weather maps show Italy 'on fire'

Italy is to bake under blistering temperatures for days on end (Image: GETTY/WXCHARTS) By the end of July, Italy will be "on fire", with temperatures set to hit 40C in several cities, a weather expert said. Italian weather forecaster Lorenzo Tredici shared an insight into the temperatures to be expected in the Mediterranean country well into next month. After a few days of partial relief in some regions in northern and central Italy where rain provided a much-needed break from a sweltering heatwave , the hot weather is to return on July 25 and, after getting increasingly worse in time for the weekend, it will keep the Mediterranean country in its grip until at least August 10.

Speaking to Italian weather news site IlMeteo.it , Mr Tredici said: "From Thursday onwards, the African anticyclone will come back with rising temperatures particularly from the weekend." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
