The situation around Calatabiano

Rain on a good share of the days around Catania over the last seven days. The 14-day ranking for the Calatabiano area is very tight: Meteo Aeronautica Militare leads by less than 3 points over the runner-up. Rain and temperatures have different winners: in the provincial capital iLMeteo.it does best on rain, and another service again on temperatures. A very windy week: sustained gusts on most days. In nearby municipalities (Fiumefreddo di Sicilia, Giardini-Naxos) the leading service does not change. In wet weeks like this one, rain forecasts matter most: they account for three quarters of the score.
