The weather in Florence

Florence's climate is usually classified as Mediterranean climate, but Cobain's climate classification classifies Florence's climate as subtropical humid climate (Cfa). Because it is located in a valley surrounded by mountains and the Arno River passes through it, Florence lacks the prevailing wind in summer. It is hot and humid from June to August, and the temperature is obviously higher than that in the coastal areas of Tuscany, and the highest temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius. A small amount of rainfall in summer belongs to the type of convective rain. Due to the inversion phenomenon, Florence is cold and humid in winter, and the lowest temperature sometimes drops below freezing point, but ice and snow are quite rare. The highest temperature recorded in this city is 42.6 degrees Celsius (1July 1983), and the lowest temperature is -23 degrees Celsius (1June 1985, 65438+1October 00), both of which are close to the Italian national temperature limit. Precipitation is mainly concentrated in winter.
