🇮🇹 Milan vs 🇬🇧 London

Milan sits in the western Po Valley, one of Europe's most fog-prone and humidity-trapping basins, hemmed in by the Alps to the north and the Apennines to the south. The city experiences hot, humid summers with weak ventilation and cold, damp winters where temperature inversions trap pollution and moisture at ground level. The Navigli canal system and proximity to several pre-Alpine lakes introduce subtle moisture gradients, while the dense urban core generates one of Italy's strongest urban heat island effects.

Temperate oceanic — mild, cloudy, and notoriously changeable year-round

London's weather is famously mild but grey. It rarely gets very hot or very cold, but expect cloud cover most of the year. Summer (June–August) brings the best sunshine and warmth. Rain falls year-round but rarely in heavy bursts.
