Conclusions
•positive and significant trends of seasonal minimum and maximum temperature over the period 1951-2011 (around 0.3°C/decade) have been detected;
•an increase in the heat wave duration , especially during summer, and a decrease in winter frost and ice days has been observed;
• a slightly decrease have been observed for precipitation during winter, spring and summer, while a slightly increase has been noted during autumn.
•a possible increase in the minimum and maximum temperature, around 2°C over the period 2021-2050 with respect to 1961-1990.
• the increase of temperature is more pronounced to the end of the century, and especially during summer , when the anomalies could reach 5.5°C respect to present climate
•a possible increase in the heat wave duration, more intense during summer and to the end of century has been projected
• a reduction of the amount of precipitation has been projected during all seasons, more intense to the end of century and especially during summer season (reduction around 30% ).
