With the heat arriving in Rome, it's time to say goodbye to long sleeves and dive into the sea. In the capital, indeed, rising temperatures will gift a weekend with a taste of summer. It will be hard to give up the first swims with 28 degrees, little wind, and calm sea. But one must hurry, because starting Tuesday, by merely dipping a toe in the water, the less brave might give up on diving in.

Weather, abnormal heat over the weekend with peaks up to 30 degrees. But from Tuesday, temperatures will drop
