Editing Monaco (section)

==Climate==
Monaco has a [[hot-summer Mediterranean climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: ''Csa''), with strong maritime influences, with some resemblances to the [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cfa''). As a result, it has balmy warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters. The winters are very mild considering the city's latitude, being as mild as locations located much further south in the [[Mediterranean Basin]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldtravelguide.net/monaco/weather-climate-geography |title=Monaco weather, climate and geography |publisher=Worldtravelguide.net |access-date=6 September 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120821004256/http://www.worldtravelguide.net/monaco/weather-climate-geography |archive-date=21 August 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Cool and rainy interludes can interrupt the dry summer season, the average length of which is also shorter. Summer afternoons are infrequently hot (indeed, temperatures greater than {{cvt|30|°C|°F|disp=or}} are rare) as the atmosphere is temperate because of constant sea breezes. On the other hand, the nights are very mild, due to the fairly high temperature of the sea in summer. Generally, temperatures do not drop below {{cvt|20|°C}} in this season. In the winter, frosts and snowfalls are extremely rare and generally occur once or twice every ten years.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.montecarlodailyphoto.com/2009/12/snow-in-casino-square.html |title=Snow in Casino Square! |publisher=Monte Carlo Daily Photo |date=19 December 2009 |access-date=6 September 2012 |archive-date=16 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116210455/http://www.montecarlodailyphoto.com/2009/12/snow-in-casino-square.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.visitmonaco.com/us/About-Monaco/Weather |title=Monaco – Weather / Monaco Official Site |publisher=Visitmonaco.com |access-date=6 September 2012 |archive-date=16 June 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120616130146/http://www.visitmonaco.com/us/About-Monaco/Weather |url-status=live }}</ref> On 27 February 2018, both Monaco and [[Monte Carlo]] experienced snowfall.<ref>{{cite news |title=In Pictures: French Riviera hit by snowfall |url=https://www.thelocal.fr/20180226/in-pictures-french-riviera-in-the-snow |newspaper=The Local France |date=26 February 2018 |access-date=7 November 2018 |archive-date=12 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180812150347/https://www.thelocal.fr/20180226/in-pictures-french-riviera-in-the-snow |url-status=live }}</ref>
