Hi,
I start a topic on the weather in Italy, focusing on the weather in the city of Siena and in Tuscany.
Italy has a very complex climate. The position on Mediterranean Sea and the intricate orography of its territory makes forecast very difficult and sometimes unpredictable also in the very short range.
As you can see in the map town of Siena is situated in the centre-north Italy, in the heart of Tuscany, 50 km south of Florence, the capital of Tuscany, and 185 north to Rome. Italy's capital.
Siena' centre(where I live) is located at the altitude of 310-360 meters and was build majorly in the Middle Age on three hills.
The weather is mild. Summer is hot and dry. Autumn can be very wet and rainy, Winter cool but very very rarely cold. Snow falls 1-3 times a year. The mean in 61-90 was about 20-25cm per years, in the last two decades the mean dropped to 10cm per years. The coldest month is January with a Mean Temperature of +5°C, the hottest is July with a Mean T. of +22.2°C, the yearly mean. Temperature is 13.2°C
This datas are based on 61-90 mean of Siena's University station, located in the center of the town, 348 m.
