Scan straight down any date to read that day across every measure at once; the score climbs highest around mid April to late October.

Humidity comfort
Share of days at each humidity comfort level, based on the dew point — the measure that tracks how muggy it actually feels.
Humidity comfort is graded by the dew point — the temperature at which the air would be fully saturated — because it tracks how muggy it actually feels far better than relative humidity does. A low dew point feels dry and crisp; a high one feels sticky and oppressive no matter the reading on a humidity gauge.
In Udine, how humid it feels changes dramatically over the year.
The more humid part of the year lasts 4.0 months, from around May 28 to September 25. The muggiest month is July, when the air feels humid, muggy or worse about 63% of the time.
The most comfortable stretch runs from around September 26 to May 27, and November is the most comfortable month — the air is dry or comfortable 100% of the time.

Wind
Average wind speed through the year, banded into plain-language speed zones so a number reads as 'breezy' or 'calm' without knowing the scale.
This is the average sustained wind speed at the standard 10 metres above open ground — the steady flow a weather station reports, not the sharper gusts that come and go, which can run half again as fast. It's the number that says whether a place is generally breezy or calm.
Wind in Udine is steady company: average speeds sit near 6 km/h — calm — in every month of the year, with no meaningful windy or calm season.

UV index (midday) in Udine by month
Clear-sky midday UV index through the year, shaded by the WHO exposure levels — how much sun protection each month calls for.

Average hourly UV index in Udine
Modeled clear-sky UV for every hour of every day — when in the day sun protection actually matters.
The whole year hour by hour: each column is a day, each row an hour, and the color is the modeled clear-sky UV index — the midday peak scaled down as the sun sits lower in the sky. Darker overlays mark night, lighter ones the civil-twilight hours around sunrise and sunset.
UV falls off far faster than brightness as the sun drops, so even in July the burn window is concentrated in the middle of the day: about 8.5 hours a day reach index 3 (protection recommended), and 5 hours reach 6 or more. Mornings and late afternoons stay comparatively gentle year round.

Air quality in Udine by month
Average fine-particle pollution (PM2.5) through the year — so you can see which months the air is worst, not just the yearly average.
Air quality in Udine is worst in January — around 19 µg/m³ PM2.5 (moderate), about 1.8× the cleanest month (September, 11 µg/m³).
Seasonal pattern from CAMS reanalysis, scaled to Udine's WHO annual average of 14.5 µg/m³.

Growing season
Udine is mild enough that a frost-free day stays more likely than not even in midwinter. Nights are reliably above freezing from about March 14 to November 15 (247 days); outside that window a hard frost is an occasional risk.

Growing degree days
Growing degree days tally heat above 10°C: each day adds however many degrees its average temperature runs over that threshold, and cold days add nothing. Udine banks about 1,896 degree days a year, and the running total — which growers use to time plantings and predict maturity — climbs fastest around July.

Solar energy
Average daily shortwave solar energy reaching the ground, banded into brightness zones so the number means something at a glance.
Solar energy is how much sunlight actually reaches the ground each day, measured in kilowatt-hours per square metre (kWh/m²) — the combined effect of how long the sun is up, how high it climbs, and how much cloud gets in the way. It's the raw fuel a solar panel has to work with: for scale, 1 kWh/m² a day is dim and wintry, while 7+ is desert-bright.
Udine receives about 3.7 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — moderate — with a clear seasonal swing between 1.1 and 6.3 kWh/m².
The brighter stretch of the year lasts 5.9 months, from around Mar 22 to Sep 18. The brightest month is June, averaging about 6.1 kWh/m² (intense).
The dimmest month is December, down near 1.2 kWh/m² — roughly 81% less than the June peak.
