The first country I’m going to
look at is Italy- a country I have always wanted to visit. I think of Italy as
the land of espresso and gelato, but I want to learn more. I feel as though my
view of Italy is terribly stereotypical, so I’m going to take a little time to
hopefully remedy that!
Today I read about Italy’s
climate: Let’s just say, if you’re planning a trip across Italy, you’ll have to
pack a variety of clothes! Italy’s climate is diverse due to its vast
longitudinal span and mountainous interior. In northern Italy, the climate is
harsh, with very cold winters and very hot, humid summers. Central Italy has a
milder climate with less difference between summer and winter temperatures. The
cold season is not as bad and the sea keeps the summer temperatures from being
too hot. Southern Italy and the islands also have less harsh winters. (http://www.italia.it/en/travel-ideas/the-sea.html).
I always think of a Mediterranean
climate when I think of Italy, and you can definitely find that there. However,
there are many different climates and not all of Italy is going to have comfortable
Mediterranean weather! As I mentioned above, the mountains in Italy contribute
to its varied climates. More tomorrow on that mountainous interior, and the
geography of Italy!
