thanks for welcome!!!

Yes, C nimumbus!!!

The climate is similar in same place!!!

I have read the climate of the NZ and there are same common factors!
In western New Zeland there are more rain then Italy, but in oriental are similar!

The Italian climate is separeted in 3 part:
North center and south!!!

The first is coldest, and more various, becouse there are the alps, appennino, the lowland, end the sea (where i live me)!

In Genoa there is the sea and immediatly behind there is appennino, more behind there is padania lowlend (whit milan), end after there are the alps!!!

The meddile rain Genova is 1200 mm the year, as in east NZ.The snow in my city are rare, but in "appennino ligure" are frequency!!!
My region(Liguria) is long 250-300 km but wide 30-50 km!!! The appennino è behind the sea, fot this there are a lot of differences in few km, and microclimate!!!

Middle temperature of genoa are:
Winter (month coldest): min 5 max 11
Summer (month hotest) : min 24 max 27
in autumn there are the big rain, but in the last year they are decreased!!!

10 day ago, here there it is snowed for 36 hours whit accumulation of 40 cm!!!historical for genoa!!!when i have a lot of time i put the photo!!!

I'm sorry for my english, i hope to learn better it, and I hope that you understand!!!

CIAO CIAO!!!

For example, to describe microclimate, now I have a T of 8.2 degrees, and the Tmin has been of 3.8 and cloudy.
In lowlend, 70 km from here, over appennino, has been -8.6!!!it is due becouse in lowlend to the stagnation of the air in the low layers.
and 20 km from here, in "appenniono ligure" the T min has been -4 degrees, to around 600 meter on the level of the sea!!!

Hi Federico,

Thanks for your interesting notes.

I think you'll find that Genoa and many places in Italy have a much larger summer-winter difference in temperatures than in New Zealand, for example in Genoa your July would be as hot as a Sydney summer month - almost as warm as Brisbane, but in winter colder than many New Zealand towns. I had an aunt-in-law who came from Trieste - when living in New Zealand after the war she missed the big change from summer to winter...

Yes!!!

In italy, there is a good exursion among summer and winter!!!

Trieste is a could city, because is subject the bora wind!!!
This wind, is particular strong and could!!!
my city is the mildest in North italy and conditionad by the sea!

For the change of climate, you said true!!!
For exemple, in the 80's years, there were more snowfalls, and the atlantic flow was strong, while the decade before it was warm!!!
In the 90's years there has been a block of the atlantic flow and conseguents diminuition of the precipitation!!!
In this five years, has been another change! The anticyclone of the azzorre, don’t stretch for parrallels but for meridians in Weurope, still more respect the last year,it stopping atlantic flow, and this allowing the air cold down from N Eruopa and Russian, but also warm air up from North africa, so we have period of cold, and warm period!!!In 2002 years there have been many rains, around 2200 mm, the double respect the avarege!!!The sammer has been fresch, but the after, in the 2003, there has been the summer warmest which I remember!!!after one year almost normaly but a little rain, the 2005 there has been a cold winter, where in febrary there have been 5 snowed in my city, whit one particolar strongly, the 3rd march, where falled 40 cm of snow in 6-7 Hours!!!in my place it not normaly!

This winter is cold, but with few rain!!!the only precipitation from begining year was been 26, 27 Janauyr, whit snow, and 28, 29 same mounth whit rain!!!If your pleasure, when i have a lot of time, i write a reportage for this event with a photo!

I follow the weahter of New Zeland, it’s interesting, and I plesure to exchange opinion and data with you!!!

The position of Hp!!!not normaly

and now strongly!!!so the cold air dowen, but the precipition there isn't!!If the cold air down more on the left, in france, it will be formed a low pression, in mar ligure, and it is fantastic, but until hp dont't mouve, we'll dont have rain for atlantic flow, and even lp for contrast among air clod and sea more worm!!!

to make another example, today i have wind from South, scirocco (sirocco?? in english??), usualy it bring a temperatur with two number, (in usualy situation), but today there are 7.8 degrees!!! It's not normaly!!!In fact in 90's years, with identical situation it has brought 12 degrees in the morning, and Tmax 14 deegren without rain!this is due because this wind bring the umidity while it accroses the sea,the atmospheric it loads umidity, threefor is cloudy and there isn't thermal inversion!!!but today we have a cold sirocco...and even this is not normaly!!!


small signs of a alteration climate

I write in a day while them is night!!! :D
