Meanwhile, from the climate index ranking published by Sole 24 Ore, updated with data provided by 3bmeteo relating to the decade 2013-2023, it is clear that Bari is the city with the best climate in Italy.
The Apulian capital enjoys eight and a half hours of sunshine a day, nine days of extreme rainfall a year, seventy-four days of rain out of 365, only 158 days a year outside of climatic comfort, that is, with a relative humidity above 70 % or less than 30 percent and a summer breeze at 7.2 knots average daily.
In second place is Imperia but followed by other cities in the Centre-South, almost all on the sea or close to the beaches: Barletta-Andria-Trani (3rd), Catania (4th), Pescara (5th ), Livorno (6/a) Chieti (7/a), Brindisi (8/a), Agrigento (9/a), Cagliari (10/a).

Among the cities with the best climate - but not with the best environmental conditions - the coastal areas stand out, but also some high-altitude centers (for example Aosta and Enna) capable of offering greater comfort thanks to air circulation, compared to the internal: here the hours of sunshine increase, the heat index remains medium-low, mitigated by the summer breeze, and there are few extreme events.
On the opposite side, at the bottom of the ranking there is once again Belluno, last in the sunshine index (just 6.7 hours of sunshine per day, against a national average of 7.8), characterized by cold days (23 .6 on average every year with a maximum perceived temperature lower than 3° C);
penultimate for high relative humidity, which takes into consideration the days that are too dry in summer and those that are too humid in winter, 255 in total. The number of rainy days is also high, 118 per year with at least 2 millimeters of precipitation cumulative, more frequent only in Lecco where the average for the decade reaches 122 days.
Furthermore, in the last ten places in the ranking, there are several centers in the Po Valley which are positioned along the axis of the Po, including Alessandria (106/a), Pavia (105/a), Cremona (104/a), Piacenza (102/a), Lodi (101/a), Asti (100/a) and Ferrara (99/a).
In particular, Rovigo is the area with the most foggy days, over 57 per year.
Verbania is last with a greater frequency of extreme rainfall, a total of 90 days between 2013 and 2023 with more than 40 millimeters of cumulative rainfall in at least one half-hourly period.
Those penalized for the same indicator - second to last and third to last - are Varese and Como, where the "water bombs" were 76 and 74 respectively in the decade.
Among the large cities, Cagliari takes 10th place in the top ten, Rome comes in 25th place, followed by Naples (26th), Venice (32nd) and Genoa (43rd).
All the others, however, meet in the second half of the ranking, with Milan last in 86th place.
In a context of changing weather "there is no alternative to continuing climate action. What is important, however, is to make sure that we take into account both Europeans' concerns about climate change and" those about the risks to competitiveness and how this affects their lives", underlines the European Commissioner for Climate Action, Wopke Hoekstra.
