U.S.A / Avan


The climate in USA varies across different parts of the country it can be divided into six climate regions. Generally, the western and southern parts of US have warmer weather as compared to the eastern and northern parts.

The temperature range runs between the extremes of 57 degrees C during the summer months in California's Death Valley to -62 degrees C in Alaska, with every other shade in between.
The northern states are the coldest, with bitter, freezing winters - especially in the plains, Midwest and Northeast. Low temperatures in January and February in the Northwest are occasionally tempered by warm chinook winds from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.

In contrast, the southern states are known as the Sunbelt, where it rarely drops below freezing.
Hot summers are the norm throughout the US, except in New England, Oregon and Washington state, all of which are rainier and less predictable than the rest of the country.

Spring and autumn (fall) conditions are generally mild, warm and sunny - but also wet in some areas, particularly the Pacific Northwest.

Tornado <click seasons arrives in the Midwest between April and June, and hurricanes <click in early summer along the southern East Coast and Gulf of Mexico coast - TV and radio will broadcast warnings for both, but the chances of encountering one on a short visit are remote.
