An anticyclone – a high-pressure area – named Cerberus (named after the monster from Dante’s Inferno) coming from the south will cause temperatures to rise above 40°C across much of Italy. This comes after a spring and early summer full of storms and floods.

The highest temperature in European history was broken on 11 August 2021, when a temperature of 48.8°C was recorded in Floridia, an Italian town in the Sicilian province of Syracuse. That record may be broken again in the coming days.

I call bullshit! Everyone knows that Cerberus was named after that paramilitary group in Mass Effect!

I’m actually replaying Mass Effect right now so that feels oddly on point.

Nah, it's named after the authentication protocol Kerberos. They're just techies promoting network security.
