Don't Shoot The Messenger

I'm posting long-range forecasts for the spots we will visit (long-range in weather-speak is anything beyond an hour). Please note today's postings show a rather cooler period in Rome, Monte Carlo and Florence vs the forecast a few days ago. Weather forecasting is not quite the science in Europe and Asia as the United States so expect more swings in their guesses until we get much closer to departing. Alas, the lifestyle is different - if it rains - c'est la vie.
