Climate of Alabama
The state is classified as humid subtropical ( Cfa ) under the Köppen climate classification . The average annual temperature is 64 ° F ( 18 ° C ) . Temperatures tend to be warmer in the southern part of the state with its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico , while the northern parts of the state , especially in the Appalachian Mountains in the northeast , tend to be slightly cooler . Generally , Alabama has very hot summers and mild winters with copious precipitation throughout the year . Alabama receives an average of 56 inches ( 1,400 mm ) of rainfall annually and enjoys a lengthy growing season of up to 300 days in the southern part of the state . Hailstorms occur occasionally in the spring and summer , but are seldom destructive . Heavy fogs are rare , and are confined chiefly to the coast . Thunderstorms occur throughout the year - they are most common in the summer , but most severe in the spring and fall , when destructive winds and tornadoes occasionally occur . Hurricanes are quite common in the state , especially in the southern part , and major hurricanes occasionally strike the coast which can be very destructive .
Climate of India
Summer in northwestern India starts from April and ends in July , and in the rest of the country from March to May . The temperatures in the north rise as the vertical rays of the Sun reach the Tropic of Cancer . The hottest month for the western and southern regions of the country is April ; for most of North India , it is May . Temperatures of 50 ° C ( 122 ° F ) and higher have been recorded in parts of India during this season . Another striking feature of summer is the Loo ( wind ) . These are strong , gusty , hot , dry winds that blow during the day in India . Direct exposure to these winds may be fatal . In cooler regions of North India , immense pre-monsoon squall - line thunderstorms , known locally as `` Nor'westers '' , commonly drop large hailstones . In Himachal Pradesh , Summer lasts from mid April till the end of June and most parts become very hot ( except in alpine zone which experience mild summer ) with the average temperature ranging from 28 ° C ( 82 ° F ) to 32 ° C ( 90 ° F ) . Winter lasts from late November till mid March . Snowfall is generally common in alpine tracts that are above 2,200 metres ( 7,218 ft ) , especially those in the higher - and trans - Himalayan regions . Near the coast the temperature hovers around 36 ° C ( 97 ° F ) , and the proximity of the sea increases the level of humidity . In southern India , the temperatures are higher on the east coast by a few degrees compared to the west coast .
Climate of Alabama
Summers in Alabama are one of the hottest in the United States , with high temperatures averaging over 90 ° F ( 32 ° C ) throughout the summer in many parts of the state . The heat of summer is tempered in the extreme south by the winds from the Gulf of Mexico which often blow inland by up to 10 -- 15 miles , and in the north by the elevation above the sea . Afternoon high temperatures are highest in Montgomery ( 92.4 degrees daily from June through August ) and in Tuscaloosa . The average nighttime humidity is highest in southwest Alabama , which results in the highest average ( high plus low temperature ) for reporting stations in the state . While afternoon highs in Mobile are cooler than their inland sister cities , the remaining warm air trapped near the Gulf at night results in the average annual temperature for Mobiles being the highest in the southwest along the coast . Cool morning temperatures help keep the northeast highlands among the more temperate locations in the state and lowest in the northeast among the highlands . Thus at Mobile the annual mean is 67 ° F ( 19 ° C ) , the mean for the summer 81 ° F ( 27 ° C ) , and for the winter 52 ° F ( 11 ° C ) ; and at Valley Head , in De Kalb county , the annual mean is 59 ° F ( 15 ° C ) , the mean for the summer 75 ° F ( 24 ° C ) , and for the winter 41 ° F ( 5 ° C ) . At Montgomery , in the central region , the average annual temperature is 66 ° F ( 19 ° C ) , with a winter average of 49 ° F ( 9 ° C ) , and a summer average of 81 ° F ( 27 ° C ) . The average winter minimum for the entire state is 35 ° F ( 2 ° C ) , and there is an average of 35 days in each year in which the thermometer falls below the freezing - point . At extremely rare intervals the thermometer has fallen below zero ( - 18 ° C ) , as was the case in the remarkable cold wave of the 12th - 13 February 1899 , when an absolute minimum of - 17 ° F ( - 29 ° C ) was registered at Valley Head . The highest temperature ever recorded was 111 ° F ( 44 ° C ) in Centreville in 1925 .
Savannah, Georgia
Seasonally , Savannah tends to have hot and humid summers with frequent ( but brief ) thunderstorms that develop in the warm and tropical air masses , which are common . Although summers in Savannah are frequently sunny , half of Savannah 's annual precipitation falls during the months of June through September . Average dewpoints in summer range from 67.8 to 71.6 ° F ( 20 to 22 ° C ) . Winters in Savannah are mild and sunny with average daily high temperatures close to 60 ° F ( 16 ° C ) . November and December are the driest months recorded at Savannah -- Hilton Head International Airport . Each year , Savannah reports 24 days on average with low temperatures below freezing , though in some years fewer than 10 nights will fall below freezing . Although decades might pass between snowfall events , Savannah has experienced snow on rare occasions , most notably in December 1989 , when up to 3.9 inches were recorded in one day in parts of the city .
Lebanon
Lebanon has a moderate Mediterranean climate . In coastal areas , winters are generally cool and rainy whilst summers are hot and humid . In more elevated areas , temperatures usually drop below freezing during the winter with heavy snow cover that remains until early summer on the higher mountaintops . Although most of Lebanon receives a relatively large amount of rainfall , when measured annually in comparison to its arid surroundings , certain areas in north - eastern Lebanon receive little because of rain shadow created by the high peaks of the western mountain range .
Czechoslovakia
The weather is mild winters and mild summers . Influenced by the Atlantic Ocean from the west , Baltic Sea from the north , and Mediterranean Sea from the south . There is no continental weather .
The Gambia
Gambia has a tropical climate . A hot and rainy season normally lasts from June until November , but from then until May , cooler temperatures predominate , with less precipitation . The climate in The Gambia closely resembles that of neighbouring Senegal , of southern Mali , and of the northern part of Benin .
Climate of Delhi
Around the middle of February , Delhi 's climate sees another transition , this time from Winter to Summer . The transition weather is known as Spring and is characterized by warm days , cool nights , dry ambiance and lively natural surroundings . The weather is pleasant and there is warm , brilliant sunshine during the day . Spring rains are a characteristic of this season . These rains may be accompanied by hail and can be heavy . Average temperatures show a slow , gradual rise as the wind direction shift from North - West to South - West , thereby getting warmer . Around late spring / early summer , the variation between morning and afternoon temperatures in a day becomes considerable , and can often be more than 20 ° C , with maximum rising to mid 30 's ° C and minimum in the mid 10 's ° C. Spring ends by the latter half of March and the day temperatures exceed 30 ° C by then , marking the onset of the next summer .
Wales
At low elevations , summers tend to be warm and sunny . Average maximum temperatures range between 19 and 22 ° C ( 66 and 72 ° F ) . Winters tend to be fairly wet , but rainfall is rarely excessive and the temperature usually stays above freezing . Spring and autumn feel quite similar and the temperatures tend to stay above 14 ° C ( 57 ° F ) -- also the average annual daytime temperature .
Siberia
The climate of Siberia varies dramatically , but it typically has short summers and long , brutally cold winters . On the north coast , north of the Arctic Circle , there is a very short ( about one - month - long ) summer . Taiga
Climate of Delhi
Delhi lies in the landlocked Northern Plains of the Indian Subcontinent . Its climate is greatly influenced by its proximity to the Himalayas and the Thar Desert , causing it to experience both weather extremes . Delhi has 5 distinct seasons , viz . Summer , Rainy , Autumn , Winter and Spring . Broadly speaking , Delhi has long and scorching summers - sub-divided into summer and monsoon seasons , short and cold winters , and two bouts of pleasant transition seasons . Two most important wind patterns influencing Delhi 's climate are the Western Disturbance and the South - West Winds .
Confederate States of America
Much of the area claimed by the Confederate States of America had a humid subtropical climate with mild winters and long , hot , humid summers . The climate and terrain varied from vast swamps ( such as those in Florida and Louisiana ) to semi-arid steppes and arid deserts west of longitude 100 degrees west . The subtropical climate made winters mild but allowed infectious diseases to flourish . Consequently , on both sides more soldiers died from disease than were killed in combat , a fact hardly atypical of pre -- World War I conflicts .
Climate of the United Kingdom
Spring is the period from March to May . Spring is generally a calm , cool season , particularly because the Atlantic has lost much of its heat throughout the autumn and winter . As the sun rises higher in the sky and the days get longer , temperatures slowly rise , but the solar effect is mitigated somewhat by the effect of the cool ocean waters and westerly winds that blow across them .
Climate of Delhi
Summer begins in early April and continues till the end of June , with the heat peaking in May . It is characterized by extreme heat , low humidity , very hot winds and thunderstorms . Delhi 's proximity to the Thar Desert results in hot , dry continental winds , called loo , at times blowing all across from the West Asian mainland , making the days feel hotter . These winds , blowing over from vast land stretches , are very hot and dry . Since the Western Disturbance depression moves eastward ( and is the reason for cyclonic occurrences in Eastern Coastal areas ) by this time of the year , there is no moisture - laden wind to increase humidity . The air therefore remains dry or very dry during day . For most of its summer season , Delhi has a semi-arid climate . Coming from Spring , the city witnesses a spurt in day temperature around early April , whereas nights still remain pleasant . By the latter part of April or during early May , maximum temperatures exceed 40 ° C while the ambience remains very dry . Night temperatures cross the 20 ° C mark towards the latter part of April . May is Delhi 's hottest month during which temperatures may reach 45 ° C or higher . This month is characterized by frequent thunderstorms . Dust storms are another feature of Delhi 's summer , and can be severe and destructive when accompanied by strong winds , particularly under cumulonimbus formation . These are caused due to fine dust brought along by the hot winds arriving from the desert . They make the surroundings appear pale yellow , bring temperatures slightly down and are usually followed by thunderstorms . Post mid-June , temperatures start falling slowly , while humidity shows a gradual rise . A visual characteristic of summer in Delhi is the summer bloom , particularly the blooming Bougainvillea , Amaltas , Gulmohar , Shireesh and Jacaranda trees , which look spectacular when fully flowering during peak summer in May .
Atlanta
Under the Köppen classification , Atlanta has a humid subtropical climate ( Cfa ) with four distinct seasons and generous precipitation year - round , typical for the inland South . Summers are hot and humid , with temperatures somewhat moderated by the city 's elevation . Winters are cool but variable , with an average of 48 freezing days per year and temperatures dropping to 0 ° F ( − 17.8 ° C ) on rare occasions . Warm air from the Gulf of Mexico can bring spring - like highs while strong Arctic air masses can push lows into the teens ( ≤ − 7 ° C ) .
North Carolina
Since 2000 , there has been a clear division in the economic growth of North Carolina 's urban and rural areas . While North Carolina 's urban areas have enjoyed a prosperous economy with steady job growth , low unemployment , and rising wages , many of the state 's rural counties have suffered from job loss , rising levels of poverty , and population loss as their manufacturing base has declined . According to one estimate , one - half of North Carolina 's 100 counties have lost population since 2010 , primarily due to the poor economy in many of North Carolina 's rural areas . However , the population of the state 's urban areas is steadily increasing .
Atlantic hurricane season
The Atlantic hurricane season is the period in a year when hurricanes usually form in the Atlantic Ocean . Tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic are called hurricanes , tropical storms , or tropical depressions . In addition , there have been several storms over the years that have not been fully tropical and are categorized as subtropical depressions and subtropical storms . Even though subtropical storms and subtropical depressions are not technically as strong as tropical cyclones , the damages can still be devastating .
Climate of India
3 ) East of the Thar Desert , the Punjab - Haryana - Kathiawar region experiences a tropical and sub-tropical steppe climate . Haryana 's climate resembles other states of the northern plains : extreme summer heat of up to 50 ° C and winter cold as low as 1 ° C. May and June are hottest ; December and January are coldest . Rainfall is varied , with the Shivalik Hills region being the wettest and the Aravali Hills region being the driest . About 80 % of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon season of July -- September , which can cause flooding . The Punjabi climate is also governed by extremes of hot and cold . Areas near the Himalayan foothills receive heavy rainfall whereas those eloigned from them are hot and dry . Punjab 's three - season climate sees summer months that span from mid-April to the end of June . Temperatures typically range from -- 2 ° C to 40 ° C , but can reach 47 ° C ( 117 ° F ) in summer and − 4 ° C in winter . In this zone , a transitional climatic region separating tropical desert from humid sub-tropical savanna and forests , experiences temperatures that are less extreme than those of the desert . Average annual rainfall is 300 -- 650 millimetres ( 11.8 -- 25.6 in ) , but is very unreliable ; as in much of the rest of India , the southwest monsoon accounts for most precipitation . Daily summer temperature maxima rise to around 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) ; this results in natural vegetation typically comprising short , coarse grasses .
Climate of India
2 ) In India a tropical wet and dry climate is more common . Noticeably drier than areas with a tropical monsoon climate , it prevails over most of inland peninsular India except for a semi arid rain shadow east of the Western Ghats . Winter and early summer are long and dry periods with temperatures averaging above 18 ° C ( 64 ° F ) . Summer is exceedingly hot ; temperatures in low - lying areas may exceed 50 ° C ( 122 ° F ) during May , leading to heat waves that can each kill hundreds of Indians. The rainy season lasts from June to September ; annual rainfall averages between 750 -- 1,500 mm ( 30 -- 59 in ) across the region . Once the dry northeast monsoon begins in September , most precipitation in India falls on Tamil Nadu , leaving other states comparatively dry .
Geography of Maharashtra
The state enjoys a tropical monsoon climate ; the hot scorching summer ( 40 to 48 degrees Celsius ) from March onwards yields to the rainy monsoon in early June . The rich green cover of the monsoon season persists during the mild winter that follows through an unpleasant October transition , but turns into a dusty , barren brown as the summer sets in again . The seasonal rains from the western sea - clouds are very heavy and the rainfall is over 400 cm. , on the Sahyadrian crests . The Konkan on the windward side is also endowed with heavy rainfall , declining northwards . East of the Sahyadri , the rainfall diminishes to a meagre 70 cm. in the western plateau districts , with Solapur - Ahmednagar lying in the heart of the dry zone . The rains increase slightly , later in the season , eastwards in the Marathwada and Vidarbha regions. Usually rain comes in 7th of June in Maharashtra .
Climate of India
Most of Northeast India and much of North India are subject to a humid subtropical climate . Though they experience hot summers , temperatures during the coldest months may fall as low as 0 ° C ( 32 ° F ) . Due to ample monsoon rains , India has only one subtype of this climate under the Köppen system : Cwa . In most of this region , there is very little precipitation during the winter , owing to powerful anticyclonic and katabatic ( downward - flowing ) winds from Central Asia .
Climate of Africa
Great parts of North Africa and Southern Africa as well as the whole Horn of Africa mainly have a hot desert climate , or a hot semi-arid climate for the wetter locations . The Sahara Desert in North Africa is the largest hot desert in the world and is one of the hottest , driest and sunniest places on Earth . Located just south of the Sahara is a narrow steppe ( a semi-arid region ) called the Sahel , while Africa 's most southern areas contain both savanna plains , and its central portion contains very dense jungle ( rainforest ) regions . The equatorial region near the Intertropical Convergence Zone is the wettest portion of the continent . Annually , the rain belt across the country moves northward into Sub-Saharan Africa by August , then passes back southward into south - central Africa by March . Areas with a savannah climate in Sub-Saharan Africa , such as Ghana , Burkina Faso , Darfur , Eritrea , Ethiopia , and Botswana have a distinct rainy season . El Nino results in drier - than - normal conditions in Southern Africa from December to February , and wetter - than - normal conditions in equatorial East Africa over the same period .
St. Augustine, Florida
In the hot season , average daytime highs are in the upper 80s to low 90s ° F ( 26 ° to 33 ° C ) and average night - time lows are in the low 70s ° F ( 21 ° C ) . The Bermuda High pumps in hot and unstable tropical air from the Bahamas and Gulf of Mexico , which help create the daily thundershowers that are typical in summer months . Intense but very brief downpours are common in mid-summer in the city . Fall and spring are warm and sunny with highs in the 75 to 80 F ( 21 to 24 ° C ) range and overnight lows in the 50s to low 60s ( 10 to 17 ° C ) .
New Jersey
During winter and early spring , New Jersey can experience `` nor'easters , '' which are capable of causing blizzards or flooding throughout the northeastern United States . Hurricanes and tropical storms ( such as Tropical Storm Floyd in 1999 ) , tornadoes , and earthquakes are rare , although New Jersey was severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy on October 29 , 2012 with the storm making landfall in the state at 90 mph .
Climate of Delhi
Summer is the best time to visit Delhi start in early April and peak in May , with average temperatures near 32 ° C although occasional heat waves can result in highs close to 45 ° C ( 114 ° F ) on some days and therefore higher apparent temperature . The monsoon starts in late June and lasts until mid-September , with about 797.3 mm ( 31.5 inches ) of rain . The average temperatures are around 29 ° C ( 85 ° F ) , although they can vary from around 25 ° C ( 78 ° F ) on rainy days to 32 ° C ( 99 ° F ) during dry spells . The monsoons recede in late September , and the post-monsoon season continues till late October , with average temperatures sliding from 29 ° C ( 85 ° F ) to 21 ° C ( 71 ° F ) .
North Carolina
The Outer Banks and surrounding beaches attract millions of people to the Atlantic beaches every year .
The impact of geography on colonial America
While the southern coast of the United States is located in similar latitudes of Southern Spain and Morocco , the climate is dominated by weather patterns moving overland as opposed to the oceanic weather patterns that dominate Western Europe . Due to this the east coast of North America is cooler than the regions congruent to it in the `` Old World '' , with climate in the United States being roughly equivalent to climates 40 - 60 degrees latitude in Europe . During the time of colonization this effect was even more pronounced as the world was in the middle of the `` Little Ice Age ''. The soil there is moist , which was perfect for farming .
Geography of Florida
The seasons in Florida are determined more by precipitation than by temperature , with the hot , wet springs and summers making up the wet season , and mild to cool , and the relatively dry winters and autumns , making the dry season . Fall foliage appears in Central and North Florida starting around late November , and into winter .
Climate of the United States
The Pacific Northwest has a oceanic climate . The climate is wet and cool in autumn , winter , and spring , and stable and drier in the summer months , especially July and August . On average , the wettest month is typically November or December ; the driest , July . In the summer months , average highs in cities like Seattle and Portland are from 70 to 79 ° F ( 21 to 26 ° C ) with lows from 50 to 59 ° F ( 10 to 15 ° C ) , while in winter daily highs are from 40 to 49 ° F ( 4 to 9 ° C ) and overnight lows from 30 to 39 ° F ( − 1 to 4 ° C ).

Sahara
To the north , the Sahara skirts the Mediterranean Sea in Egypt and portions of Libya , but in Cyrenaica and the Maghreb , the Sahara borders the Mediterranean forest , woodland , and scrub eco-regions of northern Africa , all of which have a Mediterranean climate characterized by hot summers and cool and rainy winters . According to the botanical criteria of Frank White and geographer Robert Capot - Rey , the northern limit of the Sahara corresponds to the northern limit of date palm cultivation and the southern limit of the range of esparto , a grass typical of the Mediterranean climate portion of the Maghreb and Iberia . The northern limit also corresponds to the 100 mm ( 3.9 in ) isohyet of annual precipitation .
Climate of the United Kingdom
Northern Ireland is warmer than Scotland throughout the year . Maximum temperatures are milder than in Wales from December to April , and milder than in England from December to February , but Northern Ireland is cooler during the rest of the year . Sunshine totals in every month are more than those of Scotland , but less than those of the rest of Great Britain . Northern Ireland is drier and has fewer rainy days than Scotland throughout the year , except in May , when it rains on more days . Northern Ireland is also drier than Wales in every month , yet it rains on more days . The rainiest month is January , when 17.8 days have more than 1 mm ( 0.04 in ) of rain on average .
Climate of Florida
The climate of the north and central parts of the US state of Florida is humid subtropical . South Florida has a tropical climate . There is a defined rainy season from May through October , when air mass thundershowers that build in the heat of the day drop heavy but brief summer rainfall . Late summer and early fall bring decaying tropical lows ( and occasionally landfalling tropical cyclones ) that contribute to late summer and early fall rains .
