The moderating influence of the sea and the protection given by the Alpine barrier
from the cold north winds join to bless Italy with a temperate climate. Nevertheless, the weather varies considerably
according to how far one is from the sea or the mountains. The winter is very cold in the Alps, cold and foggy
in the Po Plain and the central Apennines; mild and even warm on the Ligurian coast, the Neapolitan coast and in
Sicilia. |
| The summer is hot and dry, but the temperature is mitigated on the coast by sea breezes
and in the Apennines and Alps it is pleasantly cool. In mountain areas, winter is ideal for skiing, and summer
for excursions, hiking, etc. Seaside and lake resorts, with their excellent hotel facilities, have an intense tourist
season in the summer, while the cities that are rich in art treasures are ideal in spring and autumn. |
