Frequency of Cold-Wet Climatic Conditions in the United States
Abstract
Cold-wet conditions occur most frequently in the extreme Pacific Northwest, with a second maximum in the Northeast from the Great Lakes to northern New England. The minimum occurrence is in southern Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida. During the colder part of the year (from October through April), cold-wet conditions occur over 50 percent of the time in the two above-mentioned regions of maximum incidence, reaching 70 to 80 percent in January. In summer (July and August), cold-wet conditions occur less than 10 percent of the time except in the far northeastern and Lake states and on the north Pacific coast. The Olympic Peninsula of Washington has more than 30 percent frequency all summer, the highest in the country during this season.
