Temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea have reached a record high of 30 degrees Celsius, transforming the basin into a veritable energy reservoir ready to unleash severe weather events. An analysis published by weather portal TempoItalia.it demonstrates how the hot wave and high humidity are increasing the frequency and severity of supercell thunderstorms across the country. The recent clashes between accumulated warm air and ocean currents have already had a devastating impact on Northern Italy, particularly in Cremona, where a supercell brought down the spire of the historic cathedral and damaged over 10,000 cars. With meteorological fall arriving and temperatures in the South remaining over 40 degrees Celsius, experts warn that the thermal contrast will continue to feed huge hailstorms and powerful wind gusts. This incident highlights the increased vulnerability of the Italian territory in the face of extreme weather events.
