The situation around Lago

A wet week around Cosenza, with frequent precipitation. The 14-day ranking for the Lago area is very tight: Apple Weather leads by less than 3 points over the runner-up. Rain and temperatures have different winners: in the provincial capital 3BMeteo does best on rain, and another service again on temperatures. Sustained wind for a good part of the week. Yesterday's report card reshuffled the order: the week's No. 3 finished No. 2. The top-ranked service is the same in nearby municipalities too (Belmonte Calabro, Aiello Calabro). One more note: yesterday the service ranked last overall was among the two most accurate on the provincial capital's report card. With this much rain, the part of the score that weighs most is the precipitation forecast (three quarters of the total).
