Wildfires driven by an extreme heatwave have encircled Palermo after temperatures in the Sicilian city climbed to 47C (117F) on Monday.
But while the heat stifles the south, northern regions continued to bear the brunt of bad weather caused by the arrival of cooler air from northern Europe, with more torrential rain and gales forecast in Lombardy, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Giuseppe Sala, the mayor of Milan, said residents endured a sleepless night as winds exceeded 63 mph (100 km/h).
Sala said: “What we are seeing is not normal. We can no longer deny that climate change is changing our lives. We can no longer turn a blind eye, and above all, we can’t not do anything.”
The civil protection minister, Nello Musumeci, said: “Climate change is not just a contingency and Italy must realise that it now has a tropical climate. On one hand, we are paying the price of climate change, for which we should have paid more attention several years ago, and, on the other, of infrastructure that does not seem to be totally adequate for the new context.
The COP28 will certainly be interesting.
No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt.
Then the sound like someone dropped a heavy book.

You hear that Venus? We're coming for you!
The temperature of the ground in some areas of Spain has hit more than 60C [140F] during the deadly heatwave sweeping Europe, satellite recordings have shown.
Temperature records have been broken on most of the continent, including France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy, where highs of 40C [104F] were recorded again on Wednesday.
Sicily and Sardinia were forecast to be as high as 48C [118.4F].
These temperatures are no joke. For reference, it was about 48C (119F) in west Texas where the 2 Floridians died a couple weeks back.
Anyone experiencing this kind of heat needs to make it their #1 priority. Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Pay attention to yourself and your loved ones for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
I fully support this. You do you. It's your computer; you can do what you want with it. Whether you're using it for work or play, if it's the way you like it, then it's not wrong.
I don't think it's capitalist, because the means of production were purchased by the tribe as a whole and are the property of the tribe. Definitely socialism.

You should check out Jetbrains Rider. It feels like cheating. Or ReSharper if you can't leave VS completely
I love that this implies Visual Studio is not worth its salt, because it most certainly isn't.
