The situation around Cariati

A rainy week around Cosenza: rain fell on several of the last seven days. The 14-day ranking for the Cariati area is very tight: 3BMeteo leads by less than 3 points over the runner-up. On temperatures alone, however, iLMeteo.it is more accurate in the provincial capital's data. Worth noting: the wind, strong on several days. Yesterday's report card reshuffled the order: the week's No. 2 finished No. 1. Crucoli is the exception: a different service leads there. A curious detail: yesterday the service ranked last overall was among the two most accurate on the provincial capital's report card.
