SCIA - National system for the processing and dissemination of climate data

The system allows to elaborate, download and diffuse climate data (time series and indicators, future climate projections, climatological normals, thematic data, maps and tables).

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Explore and process climate time series and indicators.
  • Access climatological normals and thematic climate data.
  • Explore future climate projections.
  • Use climate data at different temporal and spatial resolutions, including local and NUTS2 levels.

Output

  • Climate time series and indicators.
  • Future climate projections.
  • Climatological normals and thematic climate data.
  • Maps and tables.
  • Data available at daily, 10-day, monthly and yearly temporal resolutions.

Use it to

  • Establish a baseline of observed and historical climate conditions.
  • Examine projected changes in temperature, precipitation, heat, drought and cold extremes.
  • Support the assessment of climate risks and vulnerabilities.
  • Compare climate conditions across locations and time periods.
  • Provide climate evidence for environmental assessment, planning and adaptation studies.

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

Provides the climate information needed to establish baselines and understand how climate conditions are changing before assessing risks and selecting adaptation responses. By bringing together observed climate information, climatological normals and future projections, it helps users build a robust evidence base for climate-risk and vulnerability assessments. The availability of information at different temporal and spatial scales also supports more detailed climate analyses and adaptation studies.

Used in

  • Climate risk and vulnerability assessments in Italy
  • Development of national and subnational adaptation strategies and plans in Italy
  • Environmental assessment and territorial planning
  • Climate-related research and climate-impact studies
  • Establishing climate baselines and analysing climate trends
  • Supporting adaptation planning with observed and projected climate information
