Surge of red stickers for the heat, Saturday 9th and Sunday 14th – Medicine – Ansa.it

Next week is the hottest weekend of the year, as can be seen from the red stickers from the Ministry of Health that show the cities where health is at risk due to high temperatures. After 7 today, 9 are expected on Saturday and 14 on Sunday, more than half of the 27 urban centers were analyzed in the heat wave bulletin of the ministry.

Today Brescia, Campobasso, Frosinone, Latina, Palermo, Perugia and Rome are ‘red’: Rieti, predicted in red for today, has been ‘low’ to orange , which shows the hot danger for the most vulnerable section of the population. Rieti itself will be added to the list of red flags on Saturday, along with Florence, and on Sunday Bolzano, Genoa, Naples, Verona and Viterbo will also be on the list, with Lazio being the only Italian region with the 5 regional capitals with the highest level of heat risk for the entire population.

An increase is also expected for the orange stickers: after 7 today (in addition to Rieti, Bolzano, Florence, Genoa, Naples, Rieti, Verona and Viterbo), it will go to 11 Friday (Bologna, Bolzano, Civitavecchia, Genoa , Messina, Naples, Turin, Trieste, Venice, Verona and Viterbo).

On Sunday there will be 10 (Ancona, Bari, Bologna, Civitavecchia, Messina, Milan, Reggio Calabria, Turin, Trieste and Venice).
