The Changing Italy Envirnoment (Environmental Geography)

"With its hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, Italy experiences a Mediterranean climate." [Sounds like awesome weather to me, I mean they can grow a lot of things!]

"

• Altitude, distance from the sea and aspect give local weather variations
• Winters are cold in the mountains
• The coasts are kept warm by the sea
• Winters from northern Europe spread south into Italy, bring snow to most mountains
• In summer, hot weather from Africa moves north to the whole country

"Italy is a country of extremely varied landscapes and consequently experiences a similarly varied climate. Between the north and south there can be a considerable difference in temperature, particularly during the winter. In Milan it could be −2°C (28.4 F) and snowing, while at the same time 8°C (46.4 F) in Rome and 20°C (68 F) in Palermo. The differences are less extreme in the summer."

Here how the weather is in January.
