Power outages have begun in Turin due to the heat — Reuters

Power outages have been reported in the northwestern Italian city of Turin amid a heat wave and grid overload.

This was reported by Reuters.

In recent days, power outages have affected several areas of the city. This has caused traffic jams, as some traffic lights have stopped working.

Turin Mayor Stefano Lo Russo stated that the local power grid requires additional investment and technical upgrades.

The energy company Iren reported that further outages are possible due to the complex situation.

“Sporadic power outages are possible,” a company spokesperson said.

At the same time, Iren emphasized that city life has not been paralyzed.

The company, which serves about 650,000 customers in Turin, explained that this year’s heatwave arrived earlier than expected. High temperatures and longer daylight hours are placing additional thermal stress on power grid cables.

According to meteorologists’ forecasts, the air temperature in Turin could reach 32 degrees Celsius on May 28.

Environmentalists explained the appearance of feral cows in Chernobyl.

As a reminder, the previous owners—Odarka and Hrytsyk—returned on April 5–6 to the nest in the Pyriatyn National Nature Park, where a new pair of storks—Kvitka and Lel—had formed on April 2.
