The health ministry has issued a
heat alert for six Italian cities for Thursday and for 16 on
Friday.
The red alert indicates the maximum risk level for all the
population, and not just the more fragile sections of the
population, the ministry said.
Forecasters see temperatures rising even above the record
2003 heat wave.
Temperatures will hit the low 40s in the cities cited, they
said.
