As of September 30, 2018 has been
the hottest year in Italy since 1800, when measurements began,
with temperatures 1.53 degrees above average, according to an
ISAC-CNR report Monday.
"Among these first nine months," said ISAC-CNR climatologist
and author of the study Michele Brunetti, "we should pick out in
particular April, which was the hottest April ever," and
January, the second hottest ever".
Italy basked in a long heat wave this year.
