Italian High-Temperature WarningsRed high-temperature warnings remain in effect for much of southern and western Italy through Saturday. That’s setting off a moderate-to-strong marine heat wave in the Mediterranean and a severe marine heat wave in the eastern Atlantic, just off the coasts of Portugal, France and southern England. In portions of southeastern France and Corsica, temperatures have exceeded 40 degrees Celsius at times since Wednesday. As the next heat wave peaks, large crowds are expected to be traveling to Spain to view the total solar eclipse on Wednesday.
