A new record altitude for zero
temperatures has been reached in the Italian Alps, the
iLMeteo.it weather site said Monday.
The new Italian record for the zero temperature was reached last
night at the Novara Cameri radiosounding station at 5,328
metres, said iLMeteo.it.
This beat a record just set by Switzerland, which tonight in
Payerne recorded thermal zero at 5,298 metres, the highest value
since 1954, when they began their measurements.
As for maximum temperatures in the mountains, iLMeteo.it said
that 23 degrees C were reached at 2,100 metres and 39 degrees at
900 metres.
The National Research Council said Sunday that all of Italy's
Alpine glaciers were currently above zero.
