Italy ranges from an alpine climate in the north (snowy Alps and Dolomites) to a Mediterranean climate across the centre and south, with the more continental Po Valley often foggy in winter. The south and the islands (Sicily, Sardinia) have long, hot, dry summers.

Thunderstorms and heavy rain mainly affect the north and the Tyrrhenian coasts in autumn. SkiesAtlas provides 14-day, city-by-city forecasts with radar and air quality.
