Area we sample

Each city's history comes from one ERA5 grid cell, about 28 km across, shown by the dashed box. Near mountains or coasts, conditions can vary across the cell.

Location & data

Historical weather for Turin is sampled from the ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis at 45.07°N, 7.69°E, with daily records since 1940.

Last 30 days

31 of the last 31 days were warmer than the historical average for that date. Average difference: +3.0°C.

Each bar is one day, from morning low to afternoon high. Warm-colored bars are days whose mean ran above average; cool bars ran below. The dot inside the bar is the daily mean. The shaded band is the typical 10–90% range expected for that date. Average = the day's mean temperature averaged across every year of record (1940–2026) for that calendar date.

This date over the years

One dot per year, showing the mean temperature on this calendar date. Dots are warmer or cooler than the long-term average (dashed line); the shaded band is the typical 10–90% range, and the highlighted dot is today's forecast. Based on ERA5 reanalysis: modelled estimates, not station readings.

Climate overview

Turin stands at the western edge of the Po Valley in northwestern Italy, right at the foot of the Alps. Despite the mountain backdrop it has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), with four clear seasons: moderately cold, dry winters and warm summers down on the plain. Most of the rain comes in spring and autumn, and thunderstorms build over the city through the hottest months.

Winter and autumn bring the dense fog the Po Valley is notorious for, though Turin's position at the mouth of the Susa Valley spares it some of the worst that settles over the open plains. Snow is not uncommon in winter, though it rarely piles up, and a föhn wind spilling off the Alps can bring drier air. The mountains, rarely out of view, shape the city's weather as much as its scenery.

July brings the year's peak warmth, with afternoons typically reaching 28.3°C and nights around 18.5°C. Roughly 50 days a year now top 30°C. At the other extreme, January brings afternoon highs of about 5.9°C and typical overnight lows of −1.1°C.

Turin picks up roughly 982 mm a year, with a peak of 120 mm in May and as little as 53 mm in July.

Comparing the record's first decade with its most recent one, Turin now averages 3.1°C warmer than it did in the 1940s. Where the first decade averaged 85 frost days a year, the recent one saw about 25.

Turin month by month: what to expect

Typical conditions for each month, averaged across the full record (since 1940). Daylight is the time from sunrise to sunset. Record high/low are the most extreme values in the ERA5 dataset (modelled since 1940), so they can differ from official weather-station readings.

How it's changed

Year-by-year signals from 1940 to today.

Climate stripes

Annual mean shifted from 1940–1949 to 2016–2025 by +3.1°C.

Each vertical stripe is one year. Color encodes how much that year's annual mean differed from the long-term average. Average = each year's annual mean compared to the average of all years (1940–2026). cooler ← → warmer

Annual mean temperature

Long-term trend: +0.37°C per decade.

One point per year, showing the temperature averaged across the whole year. The dashed line is the least-squares long-term trend. Based on ERA5 reanalysis: modelled estimates, not station readings.

Seasonal warming

Dec–Feb is warming fastest: +0.50°C per decade.

Each faint line is one three-month period's average per year; the bold dashed line is its long-term trend. Different parts of the year often warm at different rates. Based on ERA5 reanalysis: modelled estimates, not station readings.

Hot days vs frost days

Days ≥ 30°C per year: 11.5 early in the record → 51.0 recently. Frost days: 84 → 25.

Thin lines are raw yearly counts; thick lines are the smoothed trend that removes year-to-year noise. The hot-day threshold is auto-picked per city so the line actually moves. Average = a centered 5-year rolling average to smooth weather noise.

Yearly hot & cold extremes

All-time high in 2019, all-time low in 1945: 39.5°C / −19.7°C.

One point per year: the single hottest and coldest day recorded that year.

Annual rainfall

~982 mm/year on average. Last decade: −5% vs that average. Long-term trend: +11 mm per decade.

One bar per year of total rainfall. Dashed line is the long-term average. Average = the average annual rainfall across every year of record (1940–2026).

Day-by-day grid

Each tiny square is one calendar day across the full record, about 30,000 days per city. Use the mode switch above the chart: Anomaly colors each day by how far it ran from the historical average for that date (red = warmer, blue = cooler), Daily mean temp shows the absolute mean temperature for the day (useful to see seasons and heatwaves), and Precipitation shows daily rainfall (useful to spot wet/dry seasons and droughts). Average = the long-term average for that calendar date (1940–2026).
