I'm Italian myself. The issue with this heat is that it's humid too, I live in the riviera and we've had constant 35-37°C weather with high humidity for a week now

What RH% were you reaching? In the UK we have been spared the high heat (for now, it will probably come later) but we had 70%+ and it's not nice that high as everything feels damp.

I just spent a week in Sorrento (South West Italy), we could not handle the outdoor weather of 35-38C + 70-80% humidity for more than an hour tops.

Yeah, the humidity is the worsts. Got to change my shirt after every walk outside.
