The region's climate is influenced by its positional western to eastern flow of weather in the lower middle latitudes in the United States.

The region from the southern Plains, to the lower Midwest, eastward to parts of the Upper South, and the central East Coast (the New York City/coastal Connecticut region southward to Virginia) has a humid temperate climate, transitional between the humid continental and humid subtropical climate zones, becoming semi-arid in the western plains ...
Over the contiguous United States, total annual precipitation increased at an average rate of 6.1 percent per century since 1900, with the greatest increases within the East North Central climate region (11.6 percent per century) and the South (11.1 percent). Hawaii was the only region to show a decrease (−9.25 percent). [89]
The Northeastern coastal forests are a temperate broadleaf and mixed forests ecoregion of the northeast and middle Atlantic region of the United States. The ecoregion covers an area of 34,630 sq miles (89,691 km 2) encompassing the Piedmont and coastal plain of seven states, extending from coastal southwestern Maine, southeastern New Hampshire, eastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island ...
While record highs largely were restricted to the Northeast Monday, much of the region from the Great Lakes to the Ohio Valley remained in a warm pattern. Widespread high temperatures in the 70s ...
A 2011 study published in Nature Climate Change found that the Northeast has "emerged as a warming hotspot," heating up at a faster rate than other parts of North America due to warmer ocean ...
The climate consists of warm summers and cold snowy winters with the Atlantic Ocean bringing rain all year round. The seaboard lowlands of this region, which extends to mid-coastal Maine, exhibits a more mild climate and has somewhat distinct vegetation in which hardwoods play a more important role. [2]
A storm that snagged just a bit of tropical moisture brought rain to many areas in the Northeast from Sunday to Sunday night; this is the heaviest rain some areas have seen in well over a month.
