Here is the forecast for 2005 according to Signora Forlini and her ‘special barometer’:
Summarised, the weather in the spring will be variable - continuing the uncertainty of the winter season. At the end of April we should see some fine weather but it will still be fairly windy. May will be fine. The summer months of June, July and August will see frequent rain and poor weather. This year it will be the end of the summer and the autumn where we will see nicer, dry weather. The w inter months will be typically harsh, with snow and rainfall.
In more detail:
| January: |
Variable with snow |
| February: |
Cold, with rain and snow, especially around the middle of the month |
| March: |

| April: |

| May: |

| August: |

| September: |

So it doesn't look too good - let's hope this year the readings were not so accurate . . .
