(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 7 - The Charon anticyclone that has brought a record three-week-long heatwave to Italy is persisting in much of the country but storms will hit the north in the next few days, forecaster Lorenzo Tedici said Wednesday.
    He said the rain and hail, the product of a deep extra-tropical cyclone between Iceland, Scotland and Norway, will start affecting northern Italy in the next few hours. (ANSA).
