Florence has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), slightly tending to Mediterranean (Csa). It has hot summers with moderate or light rainfall and cool, damp winters. As Florence lacks a prevailing wind, summer temperatures are higher than along the coast. Rainfall in summer is convectional, while relief rainfall dominates in the winter. Snowfalls happen almost every year,[22] though often they do not leave traces on the ground




Toulouse, Occitaine, France lat 43,36
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/14/Blason_ville_fr_Toulouse_%28Haute-Garonne%29.svg/931px-Blason_ville_fr_Toulouse_%28Haute-Garonne%29.svg.png
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Montage_Toulouse_2.jpg
has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa in the Koeppen climate classification). Though the city lies near the Mediterranean climate zone, its uniform precipitation maintains its Cfa classification.


Split, Dalmatia, Croatia lat 43,30
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/Flag_of_Split.svg/512px-Flag_of_Split.svg.png
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Split_Collage.jpg
has a borderline humid subtropical (Cfa) and Mediterranean climate (Csa) in the Köppen climate classification, since only one summer month has less than 40 millimetres (1.6 in) of rainfall, preventing it from being classified as solely humid subtropical or Mediterranean. It has hot, moderately dry summers and mild, wet winters (however, winters can sometimes feel cold, because of the north wind Bura and its windchill factor - for example, if the air temperature is 5 °C (41 °F) and strong bura is blowing, it feels like -10 °C (14 °F). Average annual rainfall is more than 820 mm (32.28 in). July is the hottest month, with an average high temperature around 30 °C (86 °F). January is the coldest month, with an average low temperature around 5 °C (41 °F). November is the wettest month, with a precipitation total of nearly 113 mm (4.45 in) and 12 rainy days. July is the driest month, with a precipitation total of around 26 mm (1.02 in). Winter is the wettest season; however, it can rain in Split at any time of the year. Snow is usually rare; since record-keeping began the months of December and January have accrued 1 snowy day on average


Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina lat 43,20
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Flag_of_Mostar.svg/1280px-Flag_of_Mostar.svg.png
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Mostar_%28collage_image%29.jpg
Mostar, and Herzegovina area in general, have more affinity to the Croatian region of Dalmatia, which can be oppressively hot during the summer. In the summer months, occasional temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F) are not uncommon, with a record temperature of 46.2 °C (115.2 °F). The coldest month is January, averaging about 5 °C (41 °F), and the warmest month is July, averaging about 26 °C (78 °F). Mostar experiences a relatively dry season from June to September. The remainder of the year is wet and mild. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is Cfa, which in this case is an "Oceanic climate with hot summers and Mediterranean tendency" (close to Csa subtype). Mostar is the sunniest city in the country with an average of 2291 solar hours a year.


Podgorica, Montenegro lat 42,26
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/Flag_of_Podgorica.svg/2400px-Flag_of_Podgorica.svg.png
Under the Köppen climate classification, Podgorica has a borderline Mediterranean climate (Csa) and humid subtropical climate (Cfa), since there is only one summer month with less than 40 millimeters (1.6 in) of precipitation,[3] with summer highs around 30 °C (86 °F) and winter highs around 10 °C (50 °F). Although the city is only some 35 km (22 mi) north of the Adriatic Sea, an arm of the Mediterranean, Rumija mountain acts as a natural Dinaric Alps barrier, separating Skadar Lake basin and Podgorica area from the sea, thus limiting temperate maritime influence on the local climate.
The mean annual rainfall is 1,600 mm (63 in). The temperature exceeds 25 °C (77 °F) on about 135 days each year and the median daily temperature is 15.6 °C (60.1 °F). The number of rainy days is about 120, and those with a strong wind around 60. An occasional strong northerly wind influences the climate in the winter, with a wind-chill effect lowering the perceived temperature by a few degrees.
Podgorica is particularly known for its extremely hot summers: temperatures over 40 °C (104 °F) are common in July and August. The highest temperature recorded in Montenegro was 45.8 °C (114.4 °F), on 16 August 2007.
Snow is a rare occurrence in Podgorica: it rarely snows more than a few days per year.


Shkodër, Albania lat 42,04
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Coat_of_arms_of_Shkodra.svg/876px-Coat_of_arms_of_Shkodra.svg.png
has a Mediterranean climate (Csa) that is almost wet enough in July to be a humid subtropical climate (Cfa); the average yearly temperature in the city varies from 14.5 °C (58.1 °F) to 16.8 °C (62.2 °F). The temperature in January ranges from 1.4 °C (34.5 °F) to 9.8 °C (49.6 °F); in August, from 19.3 °C (66.7 °F) to 32.4 °C (90.3 °F). The average yearly rainfall is about 1,700 millimetres (66.9 in), which makes the area one of the wettest in Europe.


Skopje, Macedonia lat 42
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Flag_of_City_of_Skopje.svg/512px-Flag_of_City_of_Skopje.svg.png
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Skopje_landmarks.jpg
is usually classified as continental sub-Mediterranean, while according to the Köppen climate classification it has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa), with a mean annual temperature of 13.5 °C (56 °F).[23] Precipitation is relatively low due to the pronounced rain shadow of the Prokletije mountains to the northwest, being only a quarter of what is received on the Adriatic Sea coast at the same latitude. The summers are long, hot and humid. Skopje's average July high is 31 °C (88 °F). On average Skopje will see 88 days above 30 °C (86 °F) each year, and 10.2 days above 35.0 °C (95 °F) every year. Winters are short, relatively cold, and wet. Snowfalls are common in the winter period, but heavy snow accumulation is rare and the snowcover lasts only for a few hours or a few days if heavy. In summer, temperatures are usually above 31 °C (88 °F) and sometimes above 40 °C (104 °F). In spring and autumn, the temperatures range from 15 to 24 °C (59 to 75 °F). In winter, the day temperatures are roughly 6 °C (43 °F), but at nights they often fall below 0 °C (32 °F) and sometimes below −10 °C (14 °F). Typically, temperatures throughout one year range from −13 °C to 39 °C. Occurrences of precipitation are evenly distributed throughout the year, being heaviest from October to December and from April to June.

In summer, temperatures often soar to 30–35 °C (86–95 °F). Although rainfall is evenly spread throughout the year, it is more common in spring (April-May) and autumn (Setember-November). The driest month is July. Thunderstorms often occur.


Tirana, Albania lat 41,19
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9d/Flag_of_Tirana.svg/1200px-Flag_of_Tirana.svg.png
has a humid subtropical climate (Cfa in the Köppen climate classification) and receives just enough summer precipitation to avoid Köppen's Csa Mediterranean climate classification, since every summer month has more than 40 millimetres (1.6 in) of rainfall, with hot and moderately dry/humid summers and cool and wet winters. Some snow falls almost every winter, but it usually melts quickly.


Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain lat 41,06
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Bandera_de_Tarragona.svg/1280px-Bandera_de_Tarragona.svg.png
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/35/Tarragona9.jpg
has a coastal humid subtropical (Köppen Cfa) bordering on a Mediterranean climate (Csa), since the driest month in the summer half-year (May-October) month receives less than 30 mm (1.2 in) but just one third of the rainfall of the wettest month in the winter half-year (November-April). Winters are midly cool and summers are hot and sultry, while the rainiest seasons are autumn and spring.


Tekirdağ, West Marmara, Turkey lat 40,58
has a borderline mediterranean/humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification: Csa/Cfa). Summers are long, hot and humid whilst winters are cool and wet. Snowfall is quite common between the months of December and March, snowing for a week or two.

the Only one in the Usa similar to Florence, my city; is:

MEDFORD, OREGON lat 42,19 pop. 75,000

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/57/MedfordCitySeal.png

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/66/MFR_Montage_2016.png/800px-MFR_Montage_2016.png

Medford sits in a rain shadow between the Cascade Range and Siskiyou Mountains called the Rogue Valley. As such, most of the rain associated with the Pacific Northwest and Oregon in particular skips Medford, making it drier and sunnier than the Willamette Valley. Medford’s climate is considerably warmer, both in summer and winter, than its latitude would suggest, with a Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa). Summers are akin to Eastern Oregon, and winters resemble the coast. Here, summer sees an average of 57 afternoons over 90 °F or 32.2 °C and eleven afternoons over 100 °F or 37.8 °C. In August 1981, the high temperature reached over 110 °F or 43.3 °C for four consecutive days, with two days reaching 114 °F or 45.6 °C. Freezing temperatures occur on 69 mornings during an average year, and in some years there may be a day or two where the high stays at or below freezing; the average window for freezing temperatures is October 23 through April 23. The city is located in USDA hardiness zone 8. Medford also experiences temperature inversions in the winter which during its lumber mill days produced fog so thick that visibility could be reduced to less than five feet. These inversions can last for weeks; some suggest this is because the metropolitan area has one of the lowest average wind speeds of all American metropolitan areas. The heavy fog returns nearly every winter with the inversions lowering air quality for several months without relief.

Medford residents do experience snowfall during the winter months; however, due to the weather shadow effect it only averages 3.6 inches or 0.09 metres and melts fairly quickly. In the past, the city has seen seasonal snowfall totals reach 31 inches or 0.79 metres in 1955–1956.[38] That season was also the wettest “rain year” with a total of 33.41 inches (848.6 mm); this immediately followed the driest “rain year” since records started in 1911 from July 1954 to June 1955 when only 9.28 inches (235.7 mm) was recorded. By far the wettest month has been December 1964 with 12.72 inches (323.1 mm); no other month has had more than 10 inches or 254 millimetres





more South lies this City: REDDING, CALIFORNIA lat 40,35
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Flag_of_Redding%2C_California.png
Despite its relatively high latitude at 40°N, Redding has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csa), with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Winter (October–April) provides the most precipitation of any season in Redding—the weather tends to be either rainy or foggy and at times, snow occurs. Summers are hot and dry, but rain is possible, usually with a thunderstorm. The average daily maximum temperature in July stays near 100 °F (38 °C). The highest official recorded temperature in Redding was 118 °F (48 °C) on July 20, 1988. That was recorded at the nearby Redding airport. Some people in town recorded as high as 122 °F (50 °C) that same day. Redding has an average possible sunshine of 88%, the second-highest percentage (after Yuma, Arizona) of any US city.
While snow in Redding has become less common, the city receives an average of 4.8 inches (12 cm) of snow annually. It rarely gets sleet or freezing rain. Frost occurs commonly in December through February, less often in March or November. Redding can have chilly to cold winters like the rest of the Central Valley to the south. In spring, rain is common. Tornadoes are extremely rare; flooding occurs only around the area near the Sacramento river.
