 The normal Level of severe tropical systems. Delkraneiysia usually posts both the name Typhoon and Hurricane to announce hurricanes on their basin. Goes from 75-199mph. Anything higher would be deemed a megacane, and lower a tropical storm. A tropical storm is a hurricane or typhoon in lower strengths ranging 40-74mph

#### **Subtropical Systems-**

Storms that form almost anywhere, but inherit both tropical and nontropical traits. These storms are very common, more at midlatitudes. Only used when it comes to tropical storms, a subtropical hurricane or typhoon is announced as a regular hurricane/typhoon.

### **Winter Storms**

Much of the Southwest sees the winter storms as rain while others in the area that are cooler see more snow. While Delcore City and Lisbon see winter rain, Delcore's Village near the top of the Delcore's Mountain Range sees mostly snow during the winter.

## **General Climate**

#### Southwest

The southwest sector of DK is the warmest. Most of the major cities there are in warm climate zones 9 or higher. Summers are hot and on average is humid. Its not the same kind of summer that youd get in places like Alabama or Texas. SW DK summers are usually very comfortable with temps in the 80s and some 90s. Even when its 90 or even 100, humidity is always in the 40-60% range and most days see some showers. Summers here are long and bright. Spring starts here in February and March. As April progresses summer temps can start occurring. Temperatres between 80 and 100 are possible between April and September. Summer nights typically drop to the 50s to 60s at night. Whence October comes, its Fall in SW DK. October brings colder weather into the 60s and nights in the 40s. Winter starts in November and lasts till January. Winters here usually are mild on the mainland. On the islands it is summer all year. Rain is equally distributed throughout the year, and drought and fire concerns are always very low.

#### Central

Central DK's winters are fairly mild, but does get much colder than the SW. Temps here usually drop into the single digits on the coldest nights. Summers are hot and humid like the southwest, with a lot of rain. Summers are very similar to the SW, just a little warmer. Winters from November till February are cold and snowy. Snow can fall as early as October nights and even into April. April is the start of spring for this range. Summers ar hot and rainy, and winters are cold and snowy.

NW

Northwestern Summers are mild but not typically that hot. Say for Providence, the NW's largest city, Summer highs stay in the 70s and 80s. Summers are humid and warm and very wet. The most rain falls in June. Summer begins in May and lasts through August. 80s during the days and 50s and 60s at night make summers very comfortable. Air quality in this region is probably the best as there are the most trees here. This side of the country is the most forested and has the most national and local parks, and preserves. NW winters are definitely cold, but not too bad. On the coldest nights, the temps can drop into the single digits to -10s towards the Delkran Sea. Lots of snow. An average of 60-100 inches of snow usually falls per year in most towns.

#### The East

The eastern portion of DK is by far the harshest environment. The east is made up of mostly mountains. Many people still do live here in large towns. There are a few big cities here. Since winters get so cold here, most citizens live in western DK. However, the East has a lot of summer residents from around the country and even the world. Eastern DK has so much to offer during the warm summer months. There is hiking, swimming, fishing, and other recreation. Camping is this section's most popular attractions. Unfortunately, Summers are are very short and pretty chilly. Summer days are typically in the 60s to 70s. Nights can be anywhere from the 40s and mid 50s. When the other regions can get super hot, This is paradise for people who hate the hot weather. Summers dont start until July and are very short; only lasting 4-8 weeks. in the end of August its already going back into Fall. There is very few deciduous trees here. Its mostly coniferous.

The east does have a desert though, the D'Ascenzo Desert. Temps during the summer can reach 125o! Lows don't drop much below 100. July and August are the most brutal months here when temps are sky high. Like the rest of the country, the end of September brings cooling temps. Winter begins in November and will last until March. Springs here are gorgouss and are known for the desert's mass bloom in March. The yellow desert becomes full of color from flowers pf all kinds. This will last a few weeks until the end of April. Summer begins in May.

#### SE

The southeast is a warm area of the country. Its not as hot as the west. Its not as humid either. Plenty of rain still falls throughout the year like everywhere else in DK. Summers can be hot into the 70s-90s, but nights are chilly in the mid 50s. Winter starts in December here and are rather quick. Despite being in the east, the SE retains most of its warmth from the South Delkraneiysia Sea, which usually brings in some warmth with the seabreeze. The SE is heavily forested and filled with small towns. There are very few big cities there. the largest cities there have fewer than 100,000 residents. Farming and agriculture is most popular in this section.
