Italys geographical position is right in the middle of a temperature zone, but their climate varies. Their
             climate varies because of the warm waters of the Mediterrian Sea, and the Alpine Arc which blocks the clod
             winds coming from the north. Futhermore, the Atlantic Ocean causes wet atmospheric currents, and Eastern
             Europe brings in dry and cold currents. The Appenine chain deals with the wet winds from the Tyrrhenian,
             causing climatic differences on opposite sides of the peninsula. In the northern regions the differences in
             temperature between summer and winter are more "marked" than in the south and along the coasts.
             Usually the temperatures in the Po plain remain around zero in January, but in the Alpine valley the
             temperature can drop to around -20*C, and snow usually stays on the ground for a couple of weeks. In the
             southern regions of Italy the average temperature for January is 10*C, except for the inland mountain zones.
             Summertemperatures all over Italy usually rise to around 24-25*C, the temperature is lower in higher zones.
             In Italy there are six climatic regions:
             1) Alpine Region- The alpine region has long cold winters and short cool summers. There is more percipitation
             during the summer especially in the pre-alpine belt.
             2) Po Region- The Po region has cold and snowy winters and nice warm summers. There is more percipitation
             during spring and fall, but around the pre-alpine lakes there is heavy fog because the land is wet.
             3) Adriatic Region- The sea in the Adriatic region has little to no influence on the temperatures, because of the
             shallow waters the water can't trap the summer heat. The climate in this region is more
             continental because it's winter temperatures are caused by cold
