Amazing Conditions and Welcome to NW. What are the normal conditions the summer in that area.

Hi Jack

the normal condition are the Azzorrian Hp and rare Sub-Tropical influence.

max between 30°-34° and min under 20°

40 degrees are relatively frequent but not every year.

think that in 2007 we've had over 40° 4 times!

frequency and intensity are the caracteristic of the abnormal summer 2007.

these are the conseguence of the strong meridian exchange

sorry, but I can't write more, because my english isn't suitable

Hi Franco!

I remember it!

In my area (670 masl), I have exceeded 40 degrees for 3 days this summer, it didn't happen since 1998.

Hi Franco!

In my area (670 masl), I have exceeded 40 degrees for 3 days this summer, it didn't happen since 1998.

I don't know how many time we haven't got the same situation.

we didn't have rain for 3 month, and the fire destroyed a lot of green zone, especially in Puglia,Sicilia and Abbruzzo
