The temperature low in Rome last
night, 15.4 degrees, was "a real record high that hadn't been
registered in almost a century" at this time of the year,
meteorologist Franca Mangianti said Tuesday. The previous
highest low temperature was 14.2 degrees registered on January 6
1920, said Mangianti. Mangianti is president of the Associazione
Bernacca and for 40 years has been head of the Osservatorio
Meteorologico del Collegio Romano which has been registering
daily temperatures in the Italian capital since 1782.
