Climate in Italy is quite diverse and can vary quite a lot compared to the climate pattern of the Mediterranean and the "land of the sun", depending on individual location. The inland region north Italy (Turin, Milan and Bologna) have a continental climate, while the coastal areas of Liguria and the peninsula south of Florence with the Mediterranean climate. The climate of the coastal region of the peninsula can be very different from the hinterland, especially in the winter months. Large areas with high air temperature, humidity and often snowy. In coastal areas, the focus of most of the major cities, climates have characterized the Mediterranean with mild winters and hot and dry summers. Timing and extent of summer dry ascending southwards (compare the tables for Rome, Naples and Brindisi). Between the north and south have relatively large difference in temperature, especially in winter: in some winter days the temperature can be down to -2 ° C (24 ° F) and snow in Milan, while it is 12 ° C (54 ° F) and 18 ° C in Rome (64 ° F) at Palermo. Temperature differences are less extreme in summer. Mont Blanc (Monte Bianco), the highest mountain in Italy and Western Europe peninsula east coast not as wet as the west, but usually colder temperatures in the season east. Zone north east coast of Pescara is occasionally affected by the cold bora winds in winter and spring, but here the wind is weaker than the area around Trieste. In this cold winds, the eastern city, northeastern like Rimini, Ancona, Pescara and the entire eastern hillside of the Alps may have undergone "blizzard" true. The town of Fabriano, just 300 meters in height, can often have snowfall 0.50-0.60 m in 24 hours in this period. On the coastline from Ravenna to Venice and Trieste, snowfall is quite low: the cold winds from the east, the cold can be harsh but the sky was clear; also, in the snowfalls in northern Italy, the Adriatic coast may have more moderate Scirocco wind turns the snow into rain - the mild effects of this wind just a few kilometers from Hong disappear within the continent, and sometimes Some coast from Venice to Grado sees snow while rains in Trieste, Po river mouths and Ravenna. Trieste city rarely see snow blizzards northeast winds; in the harsh winter, the Venice Lagoon, and in places with cold temperatures, people can even go on the ice [1]. The landscape Toscana summer temperatures often more stable, although the region north often have thunderstorms in the afternoon / evening and some gray and rainy day. Thus, while south of Florence summer usually dry and sunny, humid north often have cloudy. Weather autumn and spring can be changed very quickly, with sunny and warm weeks (sometimes with temperatures like in summer) suddenly change after the cold winds and then a few weeks of rain, many Cloudy. The number of rainy days and sunny most at least appear in the southernmost continent and in Sicily and Sardinia. Here an average of four to five hours of sunlight in a winter day and up to ten or eleven hours in summer. In the north the rainfall is distributed evenly throughout the year, though often wetter summer. From November to March the Po valley is often shrouded by fog, especially in the central region (Pavia, Cremona and Mantua), while the number of days with temperatures below 0 ° C usually from 60 to 90 days a year, with peaks of up to 100-110 days mainly in rural areas [2]. Snowfall is quite frequent from early December to early March in cities like Turin, Milan and Bologna, but occasionally also in late November or late March and even June 4. In the winter of 2005-2006 , Milano has approximately 0.75-0.80 m snowfall, Como around 1:00 m, 0:50 m Brescia, Trento 1.60 m, 0.45 m Vicenza, Bologna 0:30 m, and 0.80 m Piacenza [3]. Lake Garda from Riva del Garda seasonal temperatures Summer usually uniform from north to south. The temperature is 22-24 ° C in July in the northern river Po, like in Milan or Venice, and south of the river Po can reach 24-25 ° C like in Bologna, with less thunderstorms; in the central coast and southern Italy, and in the surrounding plains, the average temperature from 23 ° C to 27 ° C. Generally, the hottest month is August in the south and July in the north; in these months temperatures can reach 38-42 ° C in the south and 32-35 ° C in the north; occasionally the country can be divided into two separate areas such weather in winter, with rain and temperatures of 20-22 ° C in the north and 30 ° C to 40 ° C in the south, but having a hot and dry summer does not mean that Southern Italy will have no rain from June to September 8. The coldest month is January: The average temperature in the Po valley between -1 ° C and +1 ° C, Venezia + 2 ° / + 3 ° C, + 4 ° C Trieste, Firenze 5 ° / 6 ° C, Rome 7 ° / 8 ° C, Napoli 9 ° C, 12 ° C Palermo. The lowest temperature in winter morning can reach -30 ° C / -20 ° C in the Alps, -14 ° C / -8 ° C in the valley of the Po River, in Firenze -7 ° C, -4 ° C in Rome, Naples and -2 ° C at 2 ° C in Palermo. In cities like Rome and Milan, the strong heat island effect can occur, so that inside the urban area, the winter can be milder and summers more sultry. In some seasons morning winter temperatures can only be -3 ° C at Dome plaza in Milano while it was -8 ° / -9 ° in peripheral areas, in Torino can -5 ° C in the city center and -10 ° / -12 ° in the periphery. Typically, the biggest snow amounts in February, sometime in January or March; in the Alps, snow falls more in the winter and the spring from 1500 m altitude, because winter usually begins with cold and dry weeks; Although people often find living in the Alps than in the winter snow, but they are warmer and less humid than in the other seasons. Both mountains are possible snowfall of up to 5-10 m in one year at 2000 m; on the highest peaks Alps, snow may fall even mellow midsummer, and the glaciers are appearing. Low temperatures are -45 ° C record in the Alps, and -29.0 ° C near the water Sea (recorded on January 12, 1985 in San Pietro Capofiume by Bologna), while in the southern city like Catania, Foggia, Lecce or Alghero have temperatures up to 46 ° C in the summer oi picture.
