Orange High-Temperature Warning Issued for Italy (Puglia) — Rome & Naples BPO Cluster at Risk

Italian meteorological authorities have issued an Orange high-temperature warning for Puglia, extending the heat event pattern already flagging Lombardia/Milan. Rome (~15,000 contact-center seats) and Naples sit within Italy's key hub network and face compounding heat stress as this warning broadens the affected geographic footprint. Operations leaders should assess cooling capacity, absenteeism risk, and potential productivity degradation at Italian sites, particularly for BPO partners operating in facilities with limited climate control.
