Fiumicino ROMA
1. GEOGRAPHICAL DATA
1.1 The AD is situated 19nm WSW of the city
close to the shoreline of the Tyrrhenian
Sea. The surrounding terrain is flat, except
for a few spotheights less than 300ft.
Some OBST, smokestacks up to 400ft
close to the NE. The river Tevere (Tiber)
is floating S of the AD.
1.2 There are several other AD within the area.
1.3 Be aware of the restricted areas, particularly
the Vatican city.
2. WEATHER
2.1 Mediterranean climate with dry warm
summers and mild, rainy winters. Mean
MAX/MNM temperatures +23.3 °/+17.7°C
and +12.7°/+3.8°C in JUL/JAN respectively.
2.2 During the summer season Roma en joys
favourable weather conditions, only broken
by infrequent local thunder storms.
2.3 During the winter there is some frontal
activity with associated low clouds and CB
build-ups. In addition there is possibility of
fog developing in near calm morning hours.
This is because the AD is surrounded by
a partly swampy plain which increases the
risk of radiation fog. However the close
proximity to the sea which remains warm
at night, will cause some mixing of the air
thus lifting the fog/low ST sufficiently to
keep the AD open.
2.4 When W winds prevail at night, Fiumicino
may be closed due to advection fog, while
Roma/Ciampino probably will stay open.
3. TRAFFIC
