A new portal providing information on meteorological and environmental data has been recently launched in Perugia.

The new portal, perugiameteo.it , accessible via a link from the Municipality of Perugia web site, is the result of the collaboration between the Perugia local environment authority and the Social Promotion Association perugia meteo.It provides real time information on the meteorological condition of the city of Perugia thanks to its connection to 3 meteorological stations constantly updating the portal.

The site offers a variety of other services, such as a meteorological journal with daily, weekly and seasonal commented data, a history of the Perugia weather in the last 35 years, an interactive map with satellite images and a section dedicated to the weather conditions in the rest of Italy. In the near future, important notices on snow falls and other extraordinary weather conditions will be also published on the portal.

The project has been recently presented by the Environment Assessor Loredana Pesaresi and by Aviation Colonel Mario Giuliacci, Honorary President of the perugia meteo association. In this occasion, Colonel Giuliacci pointed out that information on the weather provide significant indicators on the level of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as an overview of the general environmental situation, thus increasing not only the authorities’ but also the citizens’ environmental awareness. At the same time, these data allow environmental authorities to foresee and promptly react to snow falls or other major extreme meteorological events.
