Yeah, heavy rain and cool temps here as well. It's the third day in a row where we are around 12-13c max (which is our average LOW for the period - Actually, I didn't realize our average low was so high for these days).
I have started wearing pile fleeces, also because heating has not started yet in most public places. As I speak there is super strong wind with rain, feels like St John's, Newfoundland !

Jeez, 27-28c in Naples is not bad either.
Yesterday and today we had highs of about 8.0-8.5°C, while the average low for October is 9.1°C for the same weather station. Luckily we don't have any limitation on the periods in which we can heat our house, because we are in a mountainous area. Which means that I pass a lot of time next to a warm radiator
On this Turin is probably more similar to Bologna instead, usually they have to wait until the 15th of October (tomorrow) for switching their heating plants on. I think that they made a real rule about this because of the pollution issues that the city has during the winter, probably they wanted to avoid the use of heating plants when they were not necessary.
Anyway, for some reason my university started to heat some building yesterday, so there are probably some exceptions to this rule. Talking about Turin, the high temps in the last two days have been in the 10-11°C range over there.
I have had heating at home since tuesday, but yesterday I spent two hours at the library and I felt really cold after a while.
This heavy rain with wind and thunder can be annoying to some, but that's still miles better than the usual @#££^! foggy damp white-sky calm weather we get during cold days in the fall.
At least it's entertaining.
Also, do you think Italians tend to overheat at home ? I don't know anyone who welcomes fall and winter with joy here. Everyone talks about it like we're living in Norils'k or something, and complains if it's just 2c below average on a given day.

About the overheating, it is quite true, in particular in apartment buildings with a central heating or in some public places. Usually in these cases the most cold-sensitive person involved wins, and the whole building gets 25°C all over the day in the middle of December.
Here at my home we usually keep the temperature at about 20°C, and even less during the night. Also, my dad is one of those rare people in here who prefer cold temperature to the high ones, he complains for the heat from late May to September and he stops more or less now. I'm the exact opposite instead, I really don't like cold weather and I already started to wear wool hat and scarf in the morning when I leave home.
Anyway, considering the people that I know around my place, I would not say that the most of them would complain for 2°C below the average (not sure about me ). Actually, the most of people talking about weather I heard in these days, or people who posted weather news on facebook I read, were exited for the first snow in the towns at the highest altitude in my valley (Sestriere, Bardonecchia etc..., some posts were about Montgenèvre too).
In Turin instead I think that winter and cold fall days are much worse that in here, I don't like the "foggy damp white-sky calm weather" at all neither.
Hot & very humid here as well, my low last night was 24.8C & high today was 29.3C. Very high dewpoints again too, as high as 25.5C here & 26C at the Met Office station in Msida this afternoon...
We haven't seen and probably won't see 20c this month, which is unusual.
