Illinois
Illinois has a climate that varies widely throughout the year . Because of its nearly 400 - mile distance between its northernmost and southernmost extremes , as well as its mid-continental situation , most of Illinois has a humid continental climate ( Köppen climate classification Dfa ) , with hot , humid summers and cold winters . The southern part of the state , from about Carbondale southward , has a humid subtropical climate ( Koppen Cfa ) , with more moderate winters . Average yearly precipitation for Illinois varies from just over 48 inches ( 1,219 mm ) at the southern tip to around 35 inches ( 889 mm ) in the northern portion of the state . Normal annual snowfall exceeds 38 inches ( 965 mm ) in the Chicago area , while the southern portion of the state normally receives less than 14 inches ( 356 mm ) . The all - time high temperature was 117 ° F ( 47 ° C ) , recorded on July 14 , 1954 , at East St. Louis , while the all - time low temperature was − 36 ° F ( − 38 ° C ) , recorded on January 5 , 1999 , at Congerville . A temperature of − 37 ° F ( − 39 ° C ) , was recorded on January 15 , 2009 , at Rochelle .

Grand Canyon
Temperatures vary wildly throughout the year , with summer highs within the Inner Gorge commonly exceeding 100 ° F ( 37.8 ° C ) and winter minimum temperatures sometimes falling below zero degrees Fahrenheit ( − 17.8 ° C ) along the canyon 's rims . Visitors are often surprised by these potentially extreme conditions , and this , along with the high altitude of the canyon 's rims , can lead to unpleasant side effects such as dehydration , sunburn , and hypothermia .
That Summer (song)
The song is about a teenage boy `` far from home '' who goes to work for a `` lonely widowed woman hellbent to make it on her own '' . The woman apparently lives on a wheat farm ( `` wheat fields as far as I could see '' ) .
California Smog Check Program
Historically , California was hottest in July and August , but as climate change takes place , the temperature may be extended from July through September , according to a report from the team established by the Air Resource Board . Some climate change simulations indicate the global warming impact on California will be an increase in the frequency of hot daytime and nighttime temperatures . The climate change simulations also indicate that drying in the Sacramento area may be evident by the mid 21st century . The California sea level has risen at about 7 inches per century , but this trend could change with global warming . According to the report by the Climate Action Team , `` ( t ) he sea - level rise projections in the 2008 Impacts Assessment indicate that the rate and total sea - level rise in future decades may increase substantially above the recent historical rates '' . While all sectors are vulnerable to rising sea - levels , 70 percent of those at risk are residential areas . Hospitals , schools , water treatment plants , and other buildings may be at risk of flooding .
Alaska
The climate in Southeast Alaska is a mid-latitude oceanic climate ( Köppen climate classification : Cfb ) in the southern sections and a subarctic oceanic climate ( Köppen Cfc ) in the northern parts . On an annual basis , Southeast is both the wettest and warmest part of Alaska with milder temperatures in the winter and high precipitation throughout the year . Juneau averages over 50 in ( 130 cm ) of precipitation a year , and Ketchikan averages over 150 in ( 380 cm ) . This is also the only region in Alaska in which the average daytime high temperature is above freezing during the winter months .
Oklahoma
The humid subtropical climate ( Koppen Cfa ) of central , southern and eastern Oklahoma is influenced heavily by southerly winds bringing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico . Traveling westward , the climate transitions progressively toward a semi-arid zone ( Koppen BSk ) in the high plains of the Panhandle and other western areas from about Lawton westward , less frequently touched by southern moisture . Precipitation and temperatures decline from east to west accordingly , with areas in the southeast averaging an annual temperature of 62 ° F ( 17 ° C ) and an annual rainfall of generally over 40 inches ( 1,020 mm ) and up to 56 inches ( 1,420 mm ) , while areas of the ( higher - elevation ) panhandle average 58 ° F ( 14 ° C ) , with an annual rainfall under 17 inches ( 430 mm ) .
Salt Lake City
The climate of Salt Lake City is commonly claimed to be semi-arid , but under the Köppen climate classification , Salt Lake City has a hot - summer humid continental climate ( Dfa ) with hot summers and cold , snowy winters .
Balkans
On the Adriatic and Aegean coasts the climate is Mediterranean , on the Black Sea coast the climate is humid subtropical and oceanic , and inland it is humid continental . In the northern part of the peninsula and on the mountains , winters are frosty and snowy , while summers are hot and dry . In the southern part winters are milder . The humid continental climate is predominant in Bosnia and Herzegovina , northern Croatia , Bulgaria , Kosovo , Macedonia , northern Montenegro , the interior of Albania and Serbia , while the other , less common climates , the humid subtropical and oceanic climates , are seen on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and Turkey ; and the Mediterranean climate is seen on the coast of Albania , the coast of Croatia , Greece , southern Montenegro and the Aegean coast of Turkey .
Arizona
About midway through February , the temperatures start to rise , with warm days , and cool , breezy nights . The summer months of June through September bring a dry heat from 90 -- 120 ° F ( 32 -- 49 ° C ) , with occasional high temperatures exceeding 125 ° F ( 52 ° C ) having been observed in the desert area . Arizona 's all - time record high is 128 ° F ( 53 ° C ) recorded at Lake Havasu City on June 29 , 1994 , and July 5 , 2007 ; the all - time record low of − 40 ° F ( − 40 ° C ) was recorded at Hawley Lake on January 7 , 1971 .
Karnataka
Karnataka experiences four seasons . The winter in January and February is followed by summer between March and May , the monsoon season between June and September and the post-monsoon season from October till December . Meteorologically , Karnataka is divided into three zones -- coastal , north interior and south interior . Of these , the coastal zone receives the heaviest rainfall with an average rainfall of about 3,638.5 mm ( 143 in ) per annum , far in excess of the state average of 1,139 mm ( 45 in ) . Agumbe in the Shivamogga district receives the second highest annual rainfall in India . The highest recorded temperature was 45.6 ° C ( 114 ° F ) at Raichur and the lowest recorded temperature was 2.8 ° C ( 37 ° F ) at Bidar .

Polygonum perfoliatum
Polygonum perfoliatum is primarily a self - pollinating plant ( supported by its inconspicuous , closed flowers and lack of a detectable scent ) , with occasional outcrossing . Fruits and viable seeds are produced without assistance from pollinators . Vegetative propagation from roots has not been successful for this plant . It is a very tender annual , withering with a slight frost , and reproduces successfully until the first frost . Polygonum perfoliatum is a prolific seeder , producing many seeds on a single plant over a long season , from June until October in Virginia , and a slightly shorter season in more northern geographic areas . It can cover as much as 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) in a single season , maybe even more in the southern United States .
Arizona
Due to the primarily dry climate , large diurnal temperature variations occur in less - developed areas of the desert above 2,500 feet . The swings can be as large as 83 ° F ( 28 ° C ) in the summer months . In the state 's urban centers , the effects of local warming result in much higher measured night - time lows than in the recent past .

Florida Keys
The climate of the Florida Keys is tropical savanna ( Köppen climate classification : Aw ) , and other than some areas of coastal Miami , the Florida Keys are the only areas in Florida to have never reported a frost since settlement . There are two main `` seasons '' in the Florida Keys , a hot and wet season from June through October , and a dry season from November though April , that features little rainfall , sunny skies , and warm breezy conditions .
Climate of Florida
The Gulf Stream running through the Florida Straits and then north off the Florida East Coast keeps temperatures moderate a few miles inland from around Stuart on the east coast to Ft . Myers on the west side of the state year round , with few extremes in temperature . The tropical ocean current also provides warm sea surface temperatures , giving Florida beaches the warmest ocean surf waters on the United States mainland .

Hurricane Gloria
Though Gloria moved quickly through the region , it dropped moderate rainfall in locations , including 6.04 inches ( 153 mm ) at Baltimore -- Washington International Airport . In addition , some unofficial reports in southeastern Virginia indicated amounts of up to 8 inches ( 200 mm ) of rain . Because much of the Mid-Atlantic experienced the western , weaker side of this hurricane , damage was relatively light . High winds downed numerous trees throughout the area , leaving hundreds of thousands without power , including 237,000 in New Jersey , 124,000 in Maryland , and 56,000 in Virginia . Extreme rainfall in Virginia resulted in $5.5 million ( 1985 USD ) in damage . Intense flood waters split Long Beach Island in half for a period of time .
