We are going to tell you about the climate on the Coastal Plain. The winters on the Coastal Plain are mild and short. The temperatures rarely get below 40 degrees. They have warmer climates because they are closer to the equator.  Summers are 80 degrees, long, and warm. They have lots of rainfall because they are closer to the ocean. Warm weather causes longer growing season for the Southeast.       

The winters on the Piedmont Plateau are cooler and longer than on the Coastal Plain. They average 10 inches of snow.  The temperature less mild because it's closer to mountains and farther from the ocean. The Piedmont also has a shorter growing season than the Coastal Plain. 

Now we will teach you about the climate for the Appalachian Mountains. The summers are cooler and more pleasant. The Appachain Mountain's  winters have heavy snow and are very cold and severe.

Now we will tell you about the rainfall in the Southeast. The Southeast averages 50 inches of rain a year. The heaviest  rainfall is in the Blue Rige Mountains. Thunderstorms are very common on the Coastal Plain. Tampa, Florida, can have 80 days of thunderstorms and can get up to 10 inches of rain in 24 hours.

August, September, and October are known for hurricane season, and millions of dollars in things can be destroyed during this season.
