<P> In the north, precipitation is more evenly distributed during the year, although the summer is usually slightly wetter . Between November and March the Po valley is often covered by fog, especially in the central zone (Pavia, Piacenza, Cremona and Mantua), while the number of days with lows below 0 ° C (32 ° F) is usually from 60 to 90 a year, with peaks of 100--110 days in the mainly rural zones . Snow is quite common between early December and early March in cities like Turin, Milan and Bologna, but sometime it appears in late November or late March and even April . In the winter of 2005--2006, Milan received around 0.75--0.8 m (2 ft 5.53 in--2 ft 7.50 in) or 75--80 cm (29.5--31.5 in) of fresh snow, Como around 1 m (3 ft 3.37 in) or 100 cm (39.4 in), Brescia 0.5 m (1 ft 7.69 in) or 50 cm (19.7 in), Trento 1.6 m (5 ft 2.99 in) or 160 cm (63.0 in), Vicenza around 0.45 m (1 ft 5.72 in) or 45 cm (17.7 in), Bologna around 0.3 m (11.81 in) or 30 cm (11.8 in), and Piacenza around 0.8 m (2 ft 7.50 in) or 80 cm (31.5 in) </P> <P> Summer temperatures are often similar north to south . July temperatures are 22--24 ° C (71.6--75.2 ° F) north of river Po, like in Milan or Venice, and south of river Po can reach 24--25 ° C (75.2--77.0 ° F) like in Bologna, with fewer thunderstorms; on the coasts of Central and Southern Italy, and in the near plains, mean temperatures goes from 23 ° C to 27 ° C (80.6 ° F). Generally, the hottest month is August in the south and July in the north; during these months the thermometer can reach 38--42 ° C (100.4--107.6 ° F) in the south and 32--35 ° C (89.6--95.0 ° F) in the north; Sometimes the country can be split as during winter, with rain and 20--22 ° C (68.0--71.6 ° F) during the day in the north, and 30--40 ° C (86--104 ° F) in the south; but, having a hot and dry summer does not mean that Southern Italy will not see rain from June to August . </P> <P> The coldest month is January: the Po valley's mean temperature is between − 1--1 ° C (30.2--33.8 ° F), Venice 2--3 ° C (35.6--37.4 ° F), Trieste 4 ° C (39.2 ° F), Florence 5--6 ° C (41.0--42.8 ° F), Rome 7--8 ° C (44.6--46.4 ° F), Naples 9 ° C (48.2 ° F), and Cagliari 12 ° C (53.6 ° F). Winter morning lows can occasionally reach − 30 to − 20 ° C (− 22.0 to − 4.0 ° F) in the Alps, − 14 to − 8 ° C (6.8 to 17.6 ° F) in the Po valley, − 7 ° C (19.4 ° F) in Florence, − 4 ° C (24.8 ° F) in Rome, − 2 ° C (28.4 ° F) in Naples and 2 ° C (35.6 ° F) in Palermo . In cities like Rome and Milan, strong heat islands can exist, so that inside the urban area, winters can be milder and summers more sultry . </P> <P> On some winter mornings it can be just − 3 ° C (26.6 ° F) in Milan's Dome plaza while − 8 to − 9 ° C (17.6 to 15.8 ° F) in the metropolitan outskirts, in Turin can be just − 5 ° C (23.0 ° F) in the city centre and − 10 to − 12 ° C (14.0 to 10.4 ° F) in the metropolitan outskirts . Often, the largest snowfalls happen in February, sometime in January or March; in the Alps, snow falls more in autumn and spring over 1,500 m (4,921 ft), because winter is usually marked by cold and dry periods; while the Apennines see many more snow falls during winter, but they are warmer and less wet in the other seasons . </P>
