The situation around Polistena
Rain on a good share of the days around Reggio Calabria over the last seven days. The 14-day ranking for the Polistena area is very tight: Apple Weather leads by less than 3 points over the runner-up. On rain alone, Meteo Aeronautica Militare does better in the provincial capital's data; on temperatures, yet another service is the most accurate. Wind was the defining feature of the week, with strong gusts almost every day. Cittanova is the exception: a different service leads there. Rain makes up three quarters of the score and temperature one quarter: in a week this wet, rain is what makes the difference.
