He type of weather that there is in a certain place is determined by various factors among which the altitude, the latitude, the orientation of the relief, the distance to the sea and the sea currents and gives guidelines to the so-called “weather weather” which in turn is supported by other elements such as the temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation describe the atmospheric conditions of a territory in the short term.

To classify the climate, the system developed by Wladimir Köppen is generally used, although there is also the Thornthwaite system, the latter which also takes into account biological diversity and the effects of climate change on it. Others, such as Bergeron and Spacial Synoptic, are interested in the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.

Due to climate change, currently the planet is in a process of redistribution in which any change, however small, in the annual average temperature leads to changes in the habitats and their conditions.

In this context, here we leave you the weather forecast for Washington DC

Being a large country, the United States records a wide variety of climates, virtually all of them.

East of the United States Two main climates predominate: the humid subtropical and the humid continental.

In the American Northeast the most dominant climate is the humid continental which is characterized by constant rains throughout the year which become storms during the summer and snowfall throughout the winter.

In the southeastern United States the prevailing weather conditions are humid subtropical it has hot summers, cool winters and abundant rainfall.

American West Sidethere are at least three major predominant climates: semi-arid, arid and Mediterranean.

The semi-arid climate, in its cold subtypeencompasses the westernmost and north-southmost part of the United Statescharacterized by low rainfall and low temperatures.

In the southwestern United States this is where he is arid climate, both in its cold and hot subtypes. In the cold and arid regions, the winters are freezing and the summers are mild, while in the hot and arid regions, the summer records extremely high temperatures and in the winter the weather is mild. In both cases, precipitation is rare.

The Mediterranean climate enroll yourself in the most coastal area of ​​the American West, from north to south and is characterized by its mild and rainy winters, as well as its dry and hot summers.
