Italy heatwave to return on Thursday

(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 27 - After a brief respite with thunderstorms and a slight drop in temperatures, Italy will register a fresh heatwave on Thursday, according to forecasts.
    Temperatures are expected to peak across the peninsula reaching 34-35°C, particularly in the Centre and South, with constant 36°C peaks in Rome, and 38-39°C to be registered in Sardinia, Sicily and Basilicata.
    However, strong storms have been forecast on Tuesday from the North to the Centre-South: after an unstable night across northern Italy, in fact, storms are expected to hit the Apennines as well as the majority of central and southern regions, forecasts said.
    Wednesday is expected to be more stable with thunderstorms only expected in mountainous areas, in particular in the Apennines and in Sicily.
    Thursday will be particularly hot and sunny, forecasts said.
