August was particularly exceptional, with a national average temperature of <strong>25.6\u00b0C<\/strong>, exceeding the previous records of 24.6\u00b0C in 2024 and 24\u00b0C in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The August temperature anomaly was <strong>+5.2\u00b0C compared with the 1951-1980 average<\/strong> and <strong>+3.5\u00b0C compared with the 1991-2020 climatological average<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Lorenzo Arcidiaco, researcher at CNR-IBE, the figures also suggest that <strong>2026 could end up being Italy\u2019s hottest year since 1950<\/strong>. For the first time in the historical series, July and August were consecutively the hottest ever recorded for their respective months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exceptionally high temperatures were not limited to the summer. Spring 2026 had already recorded an average temperature of <strong>12.1\u00b0C<\/strong>, matching the record set in 2024. Between January and August, around <strong>70% of Italy\u2019s territory<\/strong> experienced temperature anomalies exceeding 1\u00b0C, while around 40% recorded anomalies above 2\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The north-western plains and Apennine areas were particularly exposed. According to CNR-IBE, the combination of higher temperatures and drought conditions in some areas is having a significant impact on agricultural land, making the primary sector particularly vulnerable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data for <strong>Rome, Florence and Turin<\/strong> also show that all three cities experienced repeated heatwaves during June, July and August 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to CNR-IBE data, Italy recorded an average summer temperature of 24.3\u00b0C.
