California's coastal regions, the Sierra Nevada foothills, and much of the Central Valley have a Mediterranean climate, with warmer, drier weather in summer and cooler, wetter weather in winter. The influence of the ocean generally moderates temperature extremes, creating warmer winters and substantially cooler summers in coastal areas.
The initial version of Global Historical Climatology Network was developed in the summer of 1992. [3] This first version, known as Version 1 was a collaboration between research stations and data sets alike to the World Weather Records program and the World Monthly Surface Station Climatology from the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

When counting also the Köppen sub-categories – notably including the very rare cold-summer mediterranean climate – the island of HawaiĘ»i hosts 10 (out of 14 in total) climate zones.

MCDW data is recommended as a data source by libraries and other information providers, such as the University of Chicago Library. [3] Other publications, including annual regional climate data publications, have also cited and used MCDW data. [4] Academic research in meteorology has often cited MCDW data. [5] [6] [7]
A climograph is a graphical representation of a location's basic climate. Climographs display data for two variables: monthly average temperature; monthly average precipitation. [1] These are useful tools to quickly describe a location's climate.
Hurricane Hone made a close approach to Hawaii last weekend, bringing minor damage and more than 31 inches of rain, which preliminarily ranks it number 4 for the highest rainfall from a tropical ...
The Gulf and South Atlantic states have a humid subtropical climate with mostly mild winters and hot, humid summers. Most of the Florida peninsula including Tampa and Jacksonville, along with other coastal cities like Houston, New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston and Wilmington all have average summer highs from near 90 to the lower 90s F, and lows generally from 70 to 75 °F (21 to 24 °C ...
