I would agree with you most years.
This year it has been absolutely freezing until yesterday and today is the first warm day.
As almost all the systems in Italy have a setting to either heat or air conditioning (one or the other hard wired into the actual system itself- not the controller) my suspicion is they are probably completing the switchover today. I also had my office switched over today.
In all of Italy we have had one of the coldest spring seasons ever recorded (coldest in the last 150 years) and also the wettest since recording started in North Italy (Veneto).
