Nairobi
There are two rainy seasons , but rainfall can be moderate . The cloudiest part of the year is just after the first rainy season , when , until September , conditions are usually overcast with drizzle . As Nairobi is situated close to the equator , the differences between the seasons are minimal . The seasons are referred to as the wet season and dry season . The timing of sunrise and sunset varies little throughout the year for the same reason . Nairobi
Climate of Salt Lake City
The city has four distinct seasons : a cold , snowy winter ; a hot , dry summer ; and two relatively wet transition periods . The climate of the Salt Lake City area is generally subhumid , not semi-arid as often claimed . Under the Köppen climate classification , Salt Lake City has a hot - summer humid continental climate ( Dfa ) , with relatively drier summers than the rest of the year . The Pacific Ocean is the primary influence on the weather , contributing storms from about October to May , with spring being the wettest season . Snow falls frequently during the winter , contributed largely by the lake - effect from the Great Salt Lake . The only source of precipitation in the summer is monsoon moisture moving north from the Gulf of California . Summers are hot , frequently reaching above 100 ° F ( 38 ° C ) , while winters are cold and snowy . However , winters are warmer than one would expect at this elevation and latitude , due to the Rocky Mountains to the east and north that usually block powerful polar highs from affecting the state during the winter . Temperatures rarely fall below 0 ° F ( - 18 ° C ) , but frequently stay below freezing . Temperature inversions during winter can lead to thick overnight fog and daytime haze in the valley as cool air , moisture , and pollutants are trapped in the valley by surrounding mountains .

Climate of Delhi
The end of monsoon marks the arrival of a transition season . Autumn arrives by early or mid October , and is marked by very dry ambiance , warm days and pleasant nights . Maximum temperatures drop below 30 ° C by late October and there is a gradual fall in average temperature . Minimum temperature drops below 20 ° C. During Autumn , the wind direction begins changing from South - Westerly to North - Westerly . Around late autumn / early winter , the variation between morning and afternoon temperatures in a day becomes considerable , and can often be more than 20 ° C , with minimum dropping to under 10 ° C and maximum still hovering slightly under 30 ° C . This season ends by early December .

UNC 's J.V. team plays a combination of teams from Division II and III schools , some community colleges , and a few prep schools from around the North Carolina area .
Climate of Africa
The climate of Africa is a range of climates such as the equatorial climate , the tropical wet and dry climate , the tropical monsoon climate , the semi-desert climate ( semi-arid ) , the desert climate ( hyper - arid and arid ) , the subtropical highland climate etc . Temperate climates are rare across the continent except at very high elevations and along the fringes . In fact , the climate of Africa is more variable by rainfall amount than by temperatures , which are consistently high . African deserts are the sunniest and the driest parts of the continent , owing to the prevailing presence of the subtropical ridge with subsiding , hot , dry air masses . Africa holds many heat - related records : the continent has the hottest extended region year - round , the areas with the hottest summer climate , the highest sunshine duration etc .
Climate of the Arctic
At the North Pole on the June solstice , around 21 June , the sun circles overhead at 23.5 ° above the horizon . This marks noon in the Pole 's year - long day ; from then until the September equinox , the sun will slowly approach nearer and nearer the horizon , offering less and less solar radiation to the Pole . This period of setting sun also roughly corresponds to summer in the Arctic . The rest of the Arctic will have the sun get lower in the sky and receive progressively shorter days . This
Climate of Alabama
Alabama is also prone to tropical storms and even hurricanes . Areas of the state far away from the Gulf are not immune to the effects of the storms , which often dump tremendous amounts of rain as they move inland and weaken . Thunderstorms are common during the summer throughout Alabama and also occur during other times of the year including winter . South Alabama reports many thunderstorms . The Gulf Coast , around Mobile Bay , averages between 100 and 110 days per year with thunder reported , which eastern and northwest Alabama have 70 to 80 thunderstorm days per year . Occasionally , thunderstorms are severe with frequent lightning and large hail -- the central and northern parts of the state are most vulnerable to this type of storm . Alabama ranks seventh in the number of deaths from lightning and ninth in the number of deaths from lightning strikes per capita .
Climate of Delhi
Monsoon winds arrive in Delhi by either the end of June or the first week of July . The arrival of moisture laden South - Western winds , traveling from the Arabian Sea marks the onset of Rainy season in Delhi . This season is marked by high levels of humidity and high heat . Day temperatures drop below 40 ° C as humidity suddenly soars . July is marked by high heat and relatively less precipitation ( as compared to August ) . This transition from scorching to sweltering heat between June and July makes the latter feel very uncomfortable . August is Delhi 's wettest month . The heat is considerably reduced and it is relatively cooler for most part of the month . There is dense cloud formation in the sky and at least a week of distinct , very heavy rainfall . By September , the amount and frequency of precipitation drops , though humidity remains high . Towards the end of September , moisture content in the air begins to fall and monsoon ends by early October .
North Carolina
In the Charlotte area , amenities include the Carolina Panthers NFL football team and Charlotte Hornets basketball team , Carowinds amusement park , Charlotte Motor Speedway , U.S. National Whitewater Center , and the Discovery Place . Nearby Concord has the Great Wolf Lodge and Sea Life Aquarium .
Catalonia
The inland part of Catalonia is hotter and drier in summer . Temperature may reach 35 ° C ( 95 ° F ) , some days even 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) . Nights are cooler there than at the coast , with the temperature of around 14 -- 17 ° C ( 57 -- 63 ° F ) . Fog is not uncommon in valleys and plains ; it can be especially persistent , with freezing drizzle episodes and subzero temperatures during winter , mainly along the Ebro and Segre valleys and in Plain of Vic .
St. Augustine, Florida
St. Augustine has a humid subtropical climate or Cfa -- typical of the Gulf and South Atlantic states . The low latitude and coastal location give the city a mostly warm and sunny climate . Like much of Florida , St. Augustine enjoys a high number of sunny days , averaging 2,900 hours annually . Unlike much of the contiguous United States , St. Augustine 's driest time of year is winter . The hot and wet season extends from May through October , while the cool and dry season extends November through April .

In the Conover -- Hickory area , Hickory Motor Speedway , RockBarn Golf and Spa , home of the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn ; Catawba County Firefighters Museum , and SALT Block attract many tourists to Conover . Hickory which has Valley Hills Mall .
Season
During May , June , and July , the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun . The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November , December , and January . It is Earth 's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months , which increases the solar flux . However , due to seasonal lag , June , July , and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December , January , and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere .
Tar Heel
In its early years as a colony , North Carolina settlements became an important source of the naval stores tar , pitch , and turpentine , especially for the British navy . Tar and pitch were largely used to paint the bottom of wooden British ships both to seal the ship and to prevent shipworms from damaging the hull .
Desert
Deserts are sometimes classified as `` hot '' or `` cold '' , `` semiarid '' or `` coastal '' . The characteristics of hot deserts include high temperatures in summer ; greater evaporation than precipitation usually exacerbated by high temperatures , strong winds and lack of cloud cover ; considerable variation in the occurrence of precipitation , its intensity and distribution ; and low humidity . Winter temperatures vary considerably between different deserts and are often related to the location of the desert on the continental landmass and the latitude . Daily variations in temperature can be as great as 22 ° C ( 40 ° F ) or more , with heat loss by radiation at night being increased by the clear skies . Cold
Climate of Florida
La Niña has the following effects : often dry conditions prevail in late fall , winter and early spring , increased risk of wildfires in spring and summer months , the temperatures average slightly above normal , and the chance of hurricane activity increases substantially .
St. Johns River
The St. Johns River lies within a humid subtropical zone . In summer months , the temperature ranges from 74 and 92 ° F ( 23 and 33 ° C ) , and between 50 and 72 ° F ( 10 and 22 ° C ) in the winter , although drops may occur in winter months to below freezing approximately a dozen times . Water temperatures in the river correlate to the air temperatures . The average range of water temperatures is between 50 and 95 ° F ( 10 and 35 ° C ) , rising in the summer months . Where the river widens between Palatka and Jacksonville , wind becomes a significant factor in navigation , and both whitecap waves and calm surface waters are common .
Arizona
Southern Arizona is known for its desert climate , with very hot summers and mild winters . Northern Arizona features forests of pine , Douglas fir , and spruce trees ; the Colorado Plateau ; some mountain ranges ( such as the San Francisco Mountains ) ; as well as large , deep canyons , with much more moderate summer temperatures and significant winter snowfalls . There are ski resorts in the areas of Flagstaff , Alpine , and Tucson . In addition to the Grand Canyon National Park , there are several national forests , national parks , and national monuments .
Bullhead City, Arizona
Summers are very hot with temperatures frequently exceeding 100 ° F ( 38 ° C ) in July and August , and winters are mild with days typically seeing temperatures between 65 -- 75 ° F ( 18 -- 24 ° C ) degrees in January and February . It is one of the hottest cities nationwide during the summer . Heat waves involving temperatures reaching over 120 ° F ( 49 ° C ) are not unusual .
Taiga
The taiga experiences relatively low precipitation throughout the year ( generally 200 -- 750 mm annually , 1,000 mm in some areas ) , primarily as rain during the summer months , but also as fog and snow . This fog , especially predominant in low - lying areas during and after the thawing of frozen Arctic seas , means that sunshine is not abundant in the taiga even during the long summer days . As evaporation is consequently low for most of the year , precipitation exceeds evaporation , and is sufficient to sustain the dense vegetation growth . Snow may remain on the ground for as long as nine months in the northernmost extensions of the taiga ecozone .
Climate of India
The Himalayan states , being more temperate , experience an additional season , spring , which coincides with the first weeks of summer in southern India . Traditionally , Indians note six seasons or Ritu , each about two months long . These are the spring season ( Sanskrit : vasanta ) , summer ( grīṣma ) , monsoon season ( varṣā ) , autumn ( śarada ) , winter ( hemanta ) , and prevernal season ( śiśira ) . These are based on the astronomical division of the twelve months into six parts . The ancient Hindu calendar also reflects these seasons in its arrangement of months .
Gun laws in North Carolina
To acquire a handgun in North Carolina ( including private sales , gifts , and inheritance ) an individual must go to the county sheriff 's office in the county in which they reside and obtain a pistol purchase permit . This is not required if one has a CHP ( Concealed Handgun Permit ) . State law requires the applicant to appear in person with government ID , pay a $5 fee , undergo a background check similar in scope and scrutiny to NICS , and have a reason for owning a pistol ( hunting , target shooting , self defense , or collecting ) . Because there are 100 different counties in North Carolina , there are different sets of rules and requirements for obtaining such a permit , which can be determined arbitrarily by the local sheriff . Some sheriffs impose other restrictions such as a limit on the number of permits applied for at a time , waiting periods , and / or proof of good moral character ( a witness or references , in some cases notarized with affidavits ) . The Pistol Purchase requirements are a holdover from Jim Crow laws that were designed to prevent African - Americans and other minorities from easily obtaining handguns .
Climate of the United States
The Southwest has a hot desert climate , at lower elevations . Cities like Phoenix , Las Vegas , Yuma , and Palm Springs have average highs over 100 ° F ( 38 ° C ) during the summer months and lows in the 60s . In winter , daily temperatures in the southwest are cooler with highs in the 50s and 60s F , and lows in the 40s F. Northern Arizona and New Mexico , central and northern Nevada and most of Utah ( outside higher mountain areas ) have a semi-desert climate , but with colder and snowier winters than points south due to higher elevations . As in other desert climates , the dry air results in large differences ( sometimes over 40 F ) between daytime high and nighttime low temperatures .
Tropical cyclone
In the Northern Atlantic Ocean , a distinct cyclone season occurs from June 1 to November 30 , sharply peaking from late August through September . The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is September 10 . The Northeast Pacific Ocean has a broader period of activity , but in a similar time frame to the Atlantic . The Northwest Pacific sees tropical cyclones year - round , with a minimum in February and March and a peak in early September . In the North Indian basin , storms are most common from April to December , with peaks in May and November . In the Southern Hemisphere , the tropical cyclone year begins on July 1 and runs all year - round encompassing the tropical cyclone seasons , which run from November 1 until the end of April , with peaks in mid-February to early March .
Eastern Himalaya
The climate of the Eastern Himalayas is characterized by temperate summers and chilly winters . The hot season commences around the middle of April reaching its maxima in June , and ending by August - end . The average summer temperature is generally 20 ° C ( 68 ° F ) . The average annual rainfall is 500 millimetres ( 20 in ) . Snowfall is common at higher elevations .
Geography of China
The northern extremities of both Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia have a subarctic climate ; in contrast , most of Hainan Island and parts of the extreme southern fringes of Yunnan have a tropical climate . Temperature differences in winter are considerable , but in summer the variance is considerably less . For example , Mohe County , Heilongjiang has a 24 - hour average temperature in January approaching − 30 ° C ( − 22 ° F ) , while the corresponding figure in July exceeds 18 ° C ( 64 ° F ) . By contrast , most of Hainan has a January mean in excess of 17 ° C ( 63 ° F ) , while the July mean there is generally above 28 ° C ( 82 ° F ) .
Atlantic hurricane season
Worldwide , tropical cyclone activity peaks in late summer , when the difference between temperatures aloft and sea surface temperatures is the greatest . However , each particular basin has its own seasonal patterns . On a worldwide scale , May is the least active month , while September is the most active . In the Northern Atlantic Ocean , a distinct hurricane season occurs from June 1 to November 30 , sharply peaking from late August through September ; the season 's climatological peak of activity occurs around September 10 each season . This is the norm , but in 1938 , the Atlantic hurricane season started as early as January 3 .
Tropics
When the wet season occurs during the warm season , or summer , precipitation falls mainly during the late afternoon and early evening hours . The wet season is a time when air quality improves , freshwater quality improves and vegetation grows significantly , leading to crop yields late in the season . Floods cause rivers to overflow their banks , and some animals to retreat to higher ground . Soil nutrients diminish and erosion increases . The incidence of malaria increases in areas where the rainy season coincides with high temperatures . Animals have adaptation and survival strategies for the wetter regime . Unfortunately , the previous dry season leads to food shortages into the wet season , as the crops have yet to mature .
Great Basin
Climate varies throughout the Great Basin by elevation , latitude , and other factors . Higher elevations tend to be cooler and receive more precipitation . The western areas of the basin tend to be drier than the eastern areas because of the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada . Most of the basin experiences a semi-arid or arid climate with warm summers and cold winters . However , some of the mountainous areas in the basin are high enough in elevation to experience an Alpine climate . Due to the region 's altitude and aridity , most areas in the Great Basin experience a substantial Diurnal temperature variation .

Hayling Island
As with the rest of the British Isles and Southern England , Hayling Island experiences a maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters . Temperatures have never fallen into double figures below freezing , illustrating the relative warmth of the island -- comparable to the far southwest of England and its neighbour , the Isle of Wight . Temperature extremes between 1960 and 2010 have ranged from − 9.4 ° C ( 15.1 ° F ) during January 1963 , up to 32.1 ° C ( 89.8 ° F ) during June 1976 .
Season
Six seasons can be distinguished which do not have fixed calendar - based dates like the meteorological and astronomical seasons . Oceanic regions tend to experience the beginning of the hibernal season up to a month later than continental climates . Conversely , prevernal and vernal seasons begin up to a month earlier near oceanic and coastal areas . For example , prevernal crocus blooms typically appear as early as February in coastal areas of British Columbia , the British Isles , but generally do n't appear until March or April in locations like the Midwest USA or parts of eastern Europe . The actual dates for each season vary by climate region and can shift from one year to the next . Average dates listed here are for mild and cool temperate climate zones in the Northern Hemisphere :
Hurricane Hugo
North Carolina 's coastline suffered significant damage along its southward - facing beaches , including Brunswick County and the Outer Banks .
Climate of India
By May , most of the Indian interior experiences mean temperatures over 32 ° C ( 90 ° F ) , while maximum temperatures often exceed 40 ° C ( 104 ° F ) . In the hot months of April and May , western disturbances , with their cooling influence , may still arrive , but rapidly diminish in frequency as summer progresses . Notably , a higher frequency of such disturbances in April correlates with a delayed monsoon onset ( thus extending summer ) in northwest India . In eastern India , monsoon onset dates have been steadily advancing over the past several decades , resulting in shorter summers there .
Geography of West Bengal
West Bengal 's climate varies from tropical savannah in the southern portions to humid subtropical in the north . The main seasons are summer , rainy season , a short autumn , and winter . While the summer in the delta region is noted for excessive humidity , the western highlands experience a dry summer like northern India , with the highest day temperature ranging from 38 ° C ( 100 ° F ) to 45 ° C ( 113 ° F ) . At nights , a cool southerly breeze carries moisture from the Bay of Bengal . In early summer brief squalls and thunderstorms known as `` kal - baisakhi '' often arrive from the north or northwest . Monsoons bring rain to the whole state from June to September . West Bengal receives the Bay of Bengal branch of the Indian Ocean monsoon that moves in a northwest direction . Winter ( December -- January ) is mild over the plains with average minimum temperatures of 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) . A cold and dry northern wind blows in the winter , substantially lowering the humidity level . However , the Darjeeling Himalayan Hill region experiences a harsh winter , with occasional snowfall at places .
