Typical of a New England state, Connecticut tends to
have cold, stormy winters and relatively mild, if humid, summers. Connecticut
is notable in that it has an equable distribution of precipitation among
all four seasons and a wide range of temperatures, both daily and annually.
Precipitation averages 1 day in 3, with substantial snowfall in the
winter from December to March, and there are an average of 140 overcast
days per year.
Connecticut lies in the “prevailing westerly”, a belt of
eastward air movement that brings a large number of storm centers and
air mass fronts over the state every year. Along with normal storms,
visitors should look out for Connecticut’s infamous “nor’easters”,
high wind winter storms. |
