With
7600 kilometres of coastline,
the Italian climate is
predominantly Mediterranean.
July and August are hot and
humid, and marked by
thunderstorms that strike in the
afternoons. Inland areas in the
north are the most susceptible
to this phenomenon. Both summers
and winters are warmer and drier
in the south than in the
northern and central parts of
Italy. The mountainous areas
near the Alps experience heavy
snowfall in the harsh winters.
