Rome enjoys the temperate climate which characterises the Mediterranean
coasts of Italy, although the weather has been getting warmer in recent
decades. It is at its most comfortable from April through June, and
from mid-September to October; in particular, the Roman "ottobrata"
(roughly translated as "October period") is famously known for its
sunny days and pleasant temperatures. By August, the temperature during
the heat of the day often exceeds 35° C (95° F); traditionally, many
businesses would close during August, and Romans would abandon the city
for holiday resorts, but this trend is weakening, and the city is
increasingly remaining fully functional during the whole summer, in
response to growing tourism as well as change in the population's work
habits. The average high temperature in December is about 13° C (55° F)

Antique books in the Vatican Library are being digitised to preserve them for future generations using a technique developed through ESA to store satellite images of the sky.
