Field notes
Mediterranean (Sicily) — among the warmest cities in Europe with very stable year-round patterns. Winter (December–February, 12–14°C average) is mild and damp. Summer (June–August, 24–27°C average, peaks above 38°C with sirocco winds) is hot and dry. Mount Etna eruptions are a structural feature — ash-fall episodes happen multiple times per year.
