Our Seasons
history
1958
Meteorological 1958 is often used as a reference because it marks the beginning of systematic and continuous meteorological surveys in many areas of Italy, including Piedmont. Before that year, climate data were collected in a less precise or discontinuous way. Having a complete and reliable historical series starting from 1958 allows us to compare current conditions with long-term climate averages, highlighting any anomalies or significant changes.
