A heat dome covering the central Mediterranean will expand and intensify this week. We’re expecting heat wave conditions to prevail throughout. The sky will be sunny on all days. It will become increasingly hazy though, with the sky likely to take a whitish hue. Maximum temperatures will hover at 36°C to 39°C. Minimum temperatures will be in the region of 24°C, meaning nights may offer some relief from the sweltering heat. The wind will be calm early and late on most days, with a light breeze developing during the day. The UV Index will alternate between 10 and 11+ over the coming week. These are the highest values on the scale. A UV Index of 10 and 11+ means extreme risk of harm from unprotected exposure to the Sun.
