Climate:
The United States of America covers a large region, stretching
from east to west across six time zones and therefore it is no
surprise that the country has a varied climate, ranging from arctic
regions to deserts. California, on the west coast of the US, has a
pleasant, Mediterranean climate, and the Pacific Northwest Coast
has more of a maritime climate, with cooler summers and mild
winters, influenced by westerly winds. The central part of the US
has extreme temperature variations and a continental climate - with
cold winters and hot summers (with tornadoes). The eastern central
US tends to be more humid, while the western central US is
semiarid. The east side of the country has a continental climate
caused by air masses moving from west to east, with hot summers and
a prevalence of tornadoes in the Mississippi River area. Florida
has the warmest winters on the eastern seaboard. It is recommended
that travellers research the climate in the specific state they
wish to visit when choosing when to travel.
