Climate
The moderating influence of the sea and the protection given by the Alpine barrier from the cold north winds join to bless Italy with a temperate climate.
Nevertheless, the weather varies considerably according to how far one is from the sea or the mountains.
Winter is very cold in the Alps, cold and foggy in the Po Plain and the central mountains; mild and even warm on the Ligurian coast, the Neapolitan coast and in Sicily.
Summer is hot and dry, but the temperature is mitigated on the coast by sea breezes and in the mountains it is pleasantly cool.
In mountain areas , winter is ideal for skiing, and summer for excursions. Beaches and lake resorts have a busy season in summer, while the cities that are rich in art treasures are ideal in spring and autumn.
