Fresh wave of 'African' heat on the way

(ANSA) - Rome, August 23 - A fresh wave of "African" heat will hit Italy from the end of the week, weathermen said Wednesday.
    "Temperatures will rise to 38 or so across the country and the long-hoped-for rains won't come until September," said 3bmeteo.com's Edoardo Ferrara.
    The new heatwave will not be quite as severe as the one that had Italy baking and sweating in early August, he said, although the current drought across the country will worsen.
