Understanding Climate: Types and Implications for Society

Climate information is increasingly relevant to society. (Infobae/Jovani Pérez)

The type of climate that exists in a certain place is determined by different conditions, among which are altitude, latitude, orientation of the relief, distance from the sea and sea currents and sets the tone for the so-called “meteorological time” which in turn is supported by in other elements such as temperature, pressure, wind, humidity and precipitation to describe the atmospheric conditions in a location in the short term.

To catalog 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 focus on the origin of the air masses that define the climate of a region.

Due to climate change, the planet is currently in a redistribution process in which some modification, however minimal, in the average annual temperature causes changes in habitats and their conditions.

New York is the most populated city in the United States and one of the most inhabited in the world, located in the state with the same name on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, northeast of the American country.

In the New York city, the climate is mainly humid continental, with very cold winters, hot summers and moderate rain that falls throughout the year, which turns into storms during the summer and snow in winter.

However, New York’s proximity to the Atlantic coast helps keep the winters not so cold, nor the summers so strong.

The cold and constant rains make it drop nine during the winter.

The months with the lowest temperature are between December and March, while the highest temperature is recorded between July and August.

Occupying a large area of ​​territory, the United States has an enormous variety of climates, practically all of them.

Two major climates predominate on the eastern side of the United States: humid subtropical and humid continental.

In the American northeast, the most important climate is the humid continental climate, which is characterized by constant rain throughout the year that turns into storms during the summer and snow throughout the winter.

In the southeastern United States, the prevailing weather is humid subtropical, with warm summers, cool winters, and abundant rainfall.

On the American west side, there are at least three major predominant climates: semiarid, arid and Mediterranean.

The semi-arid climate, in its cold subtype, covers the most central part of the west and from north to south of the United States, and is characterized by low rainfall and low temperatures.

The southwestern United States is where the arid climate is present, both in its cold and warm subtype. In the cold arid, the winters are cold and the summers are temperate, while in the hot arid, the summer registers extremely high temperatures and in the winter the weather is mild. In both cases, rainfall is scarce.

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