== Climate == The climate of the Friulian plain is mainly [[Humid subtropical climate|humid subtropical]]. The climate in this area is suitable for growing white wine grapes, and 2.5% of wine produced in Italy comes from this part of the region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.intowine.com/refreshing-and-sometimes-quirky-whites-friuli|title=Friuli White Wines: Refreshing (and Sometimes Quirky)|date=28 April 2007|publisher=IntoWine.com}}</ref> The hills, however, have a continental climate, and the mountainous regions have an alpine climate. On the coast the mean annual temperature is {{convert|14|C|F}}, while in the inner plains, the average is lowered to {{convert|13|to|13.5|C|F|disp=x| (}}; Udine {{convert|13.1|C|F}}, Pordenone {{convert|13.3|C|F}}, Gorizia {{convert|13.4|C|F}}). Further north, in Tolmezzo, the average temperature is approximately {{convert|10.6|C|F}}. The lowest values are recorded in the Alps: {{convert|4|C|F}} at ''Passo di Monte Croce Carnico'' (at {{convert|1300|m|ft|disp=x| / }}) and between {{convert|5.5|and(-)|7|C|F}} in Val Canale, which is situated {{convert|850|m|ft}} [[Above mean sea level|above sea level]]. In the coldest month, January, temperatures vary between approximately {{convert|4.5|C|F}} in Monfalcone and nearly {{convert|-5|C|F}} in ''Passo di Monte Croce Carnico'', with intermediate temperatures of {{convert|3|C|F}} in Udine and {{convert|-2|or|-3|C|F}} in Valcanale. Gorizia, a short distance from Udine, enjoys a particularly milder micro-climate with its approximate annual average of {{convert|4|C|F}}. In the warmest month, July, the temperatures range between {{convert|22.5|and(-)|24|C|F}} along the coast and plains and between {{convert|14|and(-)|16|C|F}} in Val Canale. [[File:CividaledelFriuliPanoramacolNatisone.jpg|thumb|Cividale on Natisone river]] Precipitation in Friuli is relatively abundant; the distribution of rainfall varies a great deal during the course of the year. Minimum values in the southern part generally fall between {{cvt|1200|and(-)|1500|mm|in}} (Gorizia over {{cvt|1350|mm|in}} and Udine over {{cvt|1400|mm|in}}), whereas the alpine area's maximum annual rainfall is approximately {{cvt|3000|mm|in}}. The Julian Prealps is one of Italy's rainiest regions: Musi receives about {{cvt|3300|mm|in}} of annual precipitation, sometimes even 5000 mm, and can receive {{cvt|400|mm|in}} in a single month. In some areas of Friuli, excessive rainfall has caused erosion and the flooding of many rivers. Snow is sparse in the southern plains (3 or 4 snowy days each year in Udine and Pordenone) but falls more consistently further to the north (Val Canale 25 days, Sauris 23 days, and ''Passo di Monte Croce Carnico'' 28 days).
