, with cold, damp winters and hot, muggy summers.
The city is located in northeastern Italy, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, at 46 degrees north latitude. About 15 km (9 mi) to the north-west are the Belluno Pre-Alps, with Mount Cavallo, Lake Santa Croce and the plateau of Cansiglio. We are in the Venetian plain, which has a slightly milder climate than the Po valley (see Milan, Turin), but also a little more windy, given that it is exposed to both the bora (cold and dry north-east wind) and the sirocco (mild south-east wind).
, from December to February, is cold. There may be cold and foggy periods, in which the temperature remains close to freezing even during the day, although more rarely than in Milan.
in Pordenone is rare, because with the cold wind from the north-east, the weather is generally dry, while with the sirocco, the wind comes directly from the sea, the temperature exceeds freezing and therefore it rains. Sometimes, however, it can snow. On average, less than 10 cm (4 in) fall per year. Generally, the snow does not exceed 5/10 cm (2/4 in) even in the heaviest snowfalls, although 45 cm (17.5 in) of snow fell in January 1985.
from Eastern Europe can bring quite intense frosts, though the temperature rarely drops below -10 °C (14 °F). At Aviano airport, the temperature dropped to -16 °C (3 °F) in January 1963.
, from June to August, is hot and muggy. The heat is felt because of high humidity, although a bit of breeze comes from the sea in the afternoon.
Sometimes, an Atlantic front, able to bring cool and rainy weather, can affect this area even in summer; more often, on sunny days, thunderstorms can erupt in the afternoon or evening.
, which are becoming increasingly more frequent, the temperature can reach or exceed 35 °C (95 °F).
to visit Pordenone is that of spring and early summer, and in particular, from mid-April to mid-June. September, too, is a good month. However, you have to take into account some rainy days in both periods.
Summer can be hot, although some days can be acceptable, especially in June. In summer, and sometimes in May, sudden thunderstorms in the afternoon or evening must be put into account.
