(ANSA) – ASIAGO, DECEMBER 27 – The Campo Magro sinkhole, on the Asiago plateau (Vicenza), is responsible for the record of cold due to the polar air that reaches Italy: -41.8 degrees. This is the measure detected this morning by the technicians of the ‘Meteotriveneto’ association, who physically monitor this and other Italian ‘cold poles’, places corresponding to natural depressions (sinks) where under certain conditions, cold air, snowy ground, clear sky and without wind, the frost concentrates. Pure meteorological curiosity, because the areas surrounding the power plants do not have the same extreme values. Riccardo Benetti, partner of M3V, measured the temperature of almost -42 at 7.35 this morning at the cold site “Dolina Campo Magro” in the municipality of Asiago. This is the lowest value ever recorded in a cold site at an altitude below 1750 meters (1612 meters). Also in the Vicenza area, -32.8 degrees were found in the Dolina Campomolon. Among the others monitored, Busa Verle, in Trentino, registered – 24.2 ° C. Among the mountain resorts, the coldest was Livigno, with -21.5.

The restrictions due to Covid – explains the association – prevented reaching other historical places monitored in the Pale di San Martino, where in 2013 the Italian record of -49.6 degrees was registered. (HANDLE).
