I've found some data of seasonal avarage.

This is taken from Edinburgh Int. Airport
http://www.worldclimate.com/cgi-bin/...03+1102+03160W
January is the coldest month, but february is very similar, with only 0.2 degree of difference.

This is the avarage rainfall
http://www.worldclimate.com/cgi-bin/...03+2100+03160W
December is quite rainy, with an avarage of 60mm. I think the snow isn't rare, but it goes over 5/10cm with difficulty.

Let's read the data of temperature avarage taken from Royal Observatory (134m):
http://www.worldclimate.com/cgi-bin/...1102+0316002G1
With 2.9°C of avarage temperature, january is colder here than in the airport, but the most evident thing is that there's a significant difference beetwen january and february (0.7°C), the contrary of what happened in the airport.

Colder than in Salerno absolutely yes, but less cold than in northern Italy for example

are you sure? my uncle told me that he remember that the temperatures there in winter arrived until at -15 -20.....come to a point that the people died in the them house and in the cars and in the bus......but probably has been an exception......

however i live 650 metres above sea level and temperates are about the same then pianura padana...

You're comparing different sets of data, the city observatory started working in 1764 whereas the one in the airport only got a recent subset.

Thank you.

That's why there are some differences between the two stations
