According to the network of agrimometerological stations in Sicily or the Agrimerological Information Service (SIAS), at the measuring point in Syracuse the temperature reached 48.8C, which is considered to be the absolute maximum temperature on the European continent.
Even passing an unofficial record temperature recorded in 1999 on September 10, of 48.5C also recorded in Sicily. But because this network is not even an official network, it takes time to formalize this temperature if it remains valid after tests.
I've also marked the temperature below that the predictive model of the German Meteorological Service (ICON) had predicted, and right at this measuring point, this updated model at noon on August 11th gave the temperature of 48.3C, which means there was such a temperature expected.
While according to the World Meteorological Organization, officially the highest temperature on the continent is that registered on July 10, 1977, in the vicinity of Athens of 48C.
