Italy: 22 degrees in South Tyrol, bathing weather in Sicily - and blooming mimosas as a bad omen. Winter has so far been almost two degrees above the historical average (plus 1.87 degrees), according to Coldiretti's analysis.

On Tuesday (February 6th) the northern foehn is expected to subside and temperatures will drop slightly, but it will remain milder than average. It is also far too warm in the mountains, with over five degrees plus measured at 2000 meters.
