The situation around Ragalna

Around Catania, precipitation was frequent over the past week. Meteo Aeronautica Militare leads the 14-day ranking for the Ragalna area. On rain alone, iLMeteo.it does better in the provincial capital's data; on temperatures, yet another service is the most accurate. A very windy week: sustained gusts on most days. The top-ranked service is the same in nearby municipalities too (Nicolosi, Santa Maria di Licodia).
