What are the climate types in Italy?

Subtropical Mediterranean climate, continental climate and humid subtropical climate

Most of Italy has a subtropical Mediterranean climate. Northern Italy belongs to continental humid subtropical climate (according to the climate classification of Coban), such as Turin, Milan and Bologna. According to the different topography and geographical location, Italy is divided into the following three climate zones: southern peninsula and island zone, Madan plain zone and Alps zone. The climate in these three areas has different characteristics.

The southern peninsula and islands have a typical Mediterranean climate, dominated by Atlantic air mass, tropical air mass in summer and temperate air mass in winter. The average temperature in southern Italy is 2 ~ 10℃ in June and 23 ~ 26℃ in July. Bataan Plain belongs to the transitional climate between subtropical zone and temperate zone, and has the characteristics of continental climate, low pressure and humid climate. In Milan and Bologna, it is often foggy in winter, and sometimes it snows.

Bataan Plain is hot in summer and cold in winter. The average temperature of 65438+ 10 is 2 ~ 4℃ in October and 20 ~ 24℃ in July. Cold is the lowest temperature area in China, with an average temperature of-12℃ ~ 1℃ in winter and 4 ~ 20℃ in July. The climate in the Alps has obvious vertical distribution characteristics. With the addition of terrain, the temperature gradually drops.

In the lake area at the foot of the Alps, the climate is mild, because the mountains block the cold current from northern Europe, and the lake regulates the cold current. In the Liguria region in the northwest, the climate is very pleasant due to the influence of mountains and seawater. In June+10/October, 5438, the average temperature in Genoa was 7℃, and various southern crops, such as olives, grapes, oranges and peaches, could be planted in this area. There are many exotic flowers and grasses in this area. San Remo is a famous flower center in Italy, and all kinds of flowers grown by local people are exported to all parts of the world every year.

Extended data:

The subtropical Mediterranean climate is mainly distributed in the west coast of subtropical continent, such as the Mediterranean coast, the west coast of the continent with latitude of 30-40 in North and South America, the Australian continent and the southwest corner of Africa, with the Mediterranean coast being the most extensive and typical.

In the northern hemisphere, for example, the subtropical high moves northward in summer and is controlled by high pressure. Affected by the tropical continental air mass, the weather is sunny, dry, hot and rainy. In winter, the subtropical high zone moves southward, which is warm and rainy due to the influence of the westerly belt (Mediterranean front belt). Natural vegetation is evergreen broad-leaved forest and evergreen shrub.

The subtropical Mediterranean climate is characterized by dry heat in summer and mild and rainy in winter, which is the only climate type with different rain and heat cycles in 13 climate type. Winter is controlled by westerlies, with frequent frontal cyclones and mild climate. Leng Yue has a temperature of 4- 10℃ and abundant precipitation.

In summer, controlled by subtropical high, the airflow sinks, the climate is hot and dry with little rain, few clouds and plenty of sunshine. The annual precipitation is 300- 1000 mm, accounting for 60%-70% in winter and only 30%-40% in summer. There is more precipitation in winter than in summer. If the annual precipitation in the Mediterranean region is made into a histogram, it will be found that it will form a basin arc.
