A detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal changes in mean seasonal and annual daily maximum (T max ) and minimum (T min ) air temperatures and diurnal temperature range (DTR) in the Arctic over the period is presented. This analysis is preceded by a description of the spatial distributions of

β¦ Synopsis
Daily minimum and maximum air temperatures recorded in Naples and in surrounding areas have been analysed in order to set up a statistical model for investigating climatic changes of extreme air temperature. We have analysed on various time-scales the mean values of minimum air temperature lower than the 10th percentile (Tminlo) and the mean values of the maximum air temperature greater than the 90th percentile (Tmaxgo). The results have shown for the city: (i) a significant secular trend both for yearly Tminlo and Tmax90, mostly due to the process of urbanization, that is also responsible for (ii) the ascertained change in the character of the annual cycle, (iii) a reasonable ability to forecast winter Tminlo and summer Tmaxg0 in statistical terms rising a markovian model, and (iv) a significant 11-yr cycle with an amplitude of 0.5 ~ directly related to solar activity which has never been succesfully determined before.

## Abstract For reasons well understood, the greatest extremes of heat and cold were normally found at the bottom of valleys. Doubtless owing to the prevalent belief that such situations were damp and unhealthy, too few valley meteorological stations had as yet been established in this country to e
