Milan faces extreme heat with temperatures up to 37°C

Weather models predict a stable, sunny day in Milan on Wednesday, 5 August, with temperatures ranging from 23 °C to 37 °C and light winds from the west‑north‑west. Thursday, 6 August, will remain largely clear with scattered clouds and similar high temperatures, while Friday, 7 August, is expected to see variable conditions, intermittent rain and cooler highs of 24 °C to 30 °C.

Local measurements in central Milan recorded daytime temperatures of about 40 °C and night‑time lows near 28 °C, with high humidity. Recent severe hailstorms produced 4 cm hailstones that damaged many vehicles, and brief thunderstorms briefly lowered temperatures to the low‑30s.

These conditions represent some of the highest urban heat readings recorded in Italy, prompting concerns for residents who rely heavily on air‑conditioning.
