Europe’s record for the hottest temperature ever recorded could be broken this week, with Italy issuing new hot weather red alerts for 16 cities as another heat dome heads towards the Mediterranean region. A new anticyclone dubbed “Charon”, who in Greek mythology was the ferryman of the dead, advanced into the region from north Africa on Sunday and could lift temperatures well above 45C in parts of Italy. “We need to prepare for a severe heat storm that, day after day, will blanket the whole country,” Italian weather news service said. “In some places ancient heat records will be broken.”The hottest temperature recorded in Europe was 48.8C in Sicily, in August 2021. The new heat dome enters Europe as the region is already experiencing deadly heat and wildfires with temperatures above 40C. At least 4,000 people were evacuated in Spain as firefighters struggle to contain wildfires tearing through La Palma. It comes as extreme temperatures are breaking records worldwide as both the US and China saw the mercury crossing 50C on Sunday.
