The Po Valley (Italian:Val Padana or Pianura Padana) extends 400 miles East-West across Italy. The Po River extends from the Adriatic Sea (Mare Adriatico) in the East to Torino in the West. Torino is also known in English and is the home of football clubs Juventus and Torino F.C., as well as being a manufacturing centre for modules of the International Space Station. Climatically, the Po Valley is also prone to a phenomenon known as the Siberian anticyclone, which is a mass of cold air on the Eurasian terrain, from September to April. The lowest recorded temperature in the Northern hemisphere was at Verkhoyansk (-67 degrees centigrade) and due to the Siberian anticyclone.
