The average July maximum temperature is 26.5 °C. The average January minimum temperature is −14.8 °C. Winters can be very cold with minimum temperatures recorded as low as −36 °C. Summers are warm and humid in Ottawa. Daytime temperatures of 30 °C or higher are commonplace.
EXERCISE 10 PROBLEMS – PART I The following questions are based on the maps of average January sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-1) and average July sea-level temperatures (Figure 10-2): 1. Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or summer? Temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region is greatest in the winter. Temperatures near or at the equator only change a few degrees between winter and summer, while the Arctic region changes up to 40 degrees between the seasons. 2.
There are only 2 seasons: summer from May to October and winter from November to April. The average daytime summer temperature at sea level is 85 degree F and the average daytime winter temperature is 78 degree F. Temperatures at night are around 10 degree F. lower. According to Wilson's hotspot theory, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian chain should get slowly older and become tougher the farther they travel outside the hotspot. The oldest volcanic rocks on Kauai, the northwestern most inhabited Hawaiian island, are about 5.5 million years old and are deeply tough. By contrast, on the "Big Island" of Hawaii -- southeastern most in the chain and probably still located over the hotspot -- the oldest bare rocks are less than 0.7 million years
Hurricanes Hurricanes, also known as tropical cyclones, are low pressure storm systems that form on open water and feed on heat released when moist air rises. Hurricanes are recognized on radar by their distinct pin wheel shape. When hurricanes begin to take shape they are called a tropical storm. The word “tropical” is used because most of these storms are formed by the very warm water of the tropics. Hurricanes need the ocean’s water temperature to be about 80 degrees to a depth of about 150 feet.
[123] The weather is damp relatively frequently and is changeable. The coldest months are January and February, the latter particularly on the English coast, while July is normally the warmest month. Months with mild to warm weather are May, June, September and October. [123] Rainfall is spread fairly evenly throughout the
However, due to the Cascades, total precipitation quantities are small. Summers are sunny with clear skies 80-85% of the time. Winds are generally light, with speeds averaging less than 10 knots. Wind speeds of over 40 knots are only recorded about three times a year. A peak gust of 48 knots has been recorded at Yakima Municipal Airport.
The word savanna stems from an Amerind term for plains which became Hispanicize after the Spanish Conquest. It is a transitional biome between those dominated by forests and those dominated by grasses. The Savanna biome is associated with climates having seasonal precipitation accompanied with a seasonal drought. A multitude variant, the parkland, is located in the drier portions of the humid continental climate. Savannas have warm temperature year round.
Average Temperature Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. The temperature in a rain forest rarely gets higher than 93 °F (34 °C) or drops below 68 °F (20 °C. Average Precipitation Average humidity is between 77 and 88%; rainfall is often more than 100 inches a year. There is usually a brief season of less rain. In monsoonal areas, there is a real dry season.
The park extends along over 41km of coastline. Some area of the park is 24km north of Charlotte town. Prince Edward Island Park protects a representative sample of the Maritime Plain Natural Region. Second point, the climate region of Prince Edward Island Park is Atlantic Maritime. Prince Edward Island Park have moderate temperatures.
TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Location of the Equatorial Rainforest Equatorial forests are located right above the equator and have very hot temperatures. The major Equatorial Rainforests are found in South and Central America, West Africa and Eastern Asia. • South and Central America – Amazon Rainforest • West Africa – Congo Rainforest • Eastern Asia - South Eastern Asia Rainforest • The Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world. The Congo is the second and the South East Asia the third. See Diagram 1.
