Field notes
Po Valley fog and winter inversion are the signature weather story — Nov–Feb can be grey and damp for stretches, with very poor air quality on still days. Summers are humid hot (peak 25–30°C) thanks to the same valley containment. April–May and September–October are the real comfort windows.
