2024 among hottest summers since 1800

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 24 - The summer of 2024 will turn out to be one of the hottest since Italian meteorological recordings began in 1800, the National Research Council (CNR) said Saturday.
    After a JUne that came ninth in the all-time rankings and a July that placed third for highest media temperatures, August will confirm the trend, said Tuscany Region, CNR and Consorzio Lamma weatherman Claudio Tei.
    "The precipitations expected from Monday will certainly not be enough to speak of a cooler summer," he said.
    "After the four days of bad weather forecast, in fact, temperatures will return above average, albeit with much more acceptable values compared to these last few days".
    Tei said storms would start hitting the north of Italy Monday and September would be marked by "more bearable heat". (ANSA).
