About Turin
Turin is a city and a business and cultural centre in northern Italy. It is the capital and largest city of Piedmont and of the Metropolitan City of Turin. From 1861 to 1865, it was the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy.
Each month is scored on temperature comfort (18–27°C avg high is the sweet spot), rainfall (more rain days = lower score), snow days, and peak hazard seasons (hurricanes, monsoons, etc.). Green-tier months are within ideal range with no major issues. Yellow are workable but with trade-offs. Red has at least one significant problem — extreme heat or cold, heavy rain, or peak storm season.
