#Sicilian airport shuts temporarily as extreme heatwave forces hundreds to flee homes
Wildfires driven by an extreme heatwave have encircled Palermo after temperatures in the Sicilian city climbed to 47C (117F) on Monday.
Local authorities closed the airport temporarily and part of the motorway as more than 55 wildfires were reported on the island. Hundreds of firefighters from other regions in Italy were due to arrive to help battle the flames.
An 88-year-old woman was reported to have died in San Martino delle Scale, a few miles from the Sicilian capital, after disruption caused by the fires prevented emergency services from reaching her in time.
“We have never seen anything like it,” a San Martino delle Scale resident told Italy’s Ansa news agency. “We were surrounded by fire. We could not go anywhere. We spent the night in the square. These were terrible moments.”

From Scott Duncan WX on The X-Bird, #Palermo in #Sicily has broken its all-time maximum temperature record today with 47.0C, +2.2C of its all-time record.
This is in a series going back 232 years.
All-time maximum records shouldn't be broken by such margins, but no-one seems to care they are happening ever more commonly. In fact, climate change denial is being pushed even harder.
But it must just be down to the electronic thermometers.
