Why your temperature might differ

A weather app may show a reading from one nearby station or an estimate for your selected location; neither measures every address in a city. Temperatures can differ over short distances, especially near the coast, and readings may be taken at different times. A shaded balcony thermometer reflects conditions around that balcony, but nearby walls, flooring, and airflow can affect it. Indoor readings and thermometers in direct sun are not directly comparable with a shaded, ventilated outdoor weather station.

Weather History

Past 7 Days · Daily highs and lows (°F)

Ocean Currents

Warm and cold ocean currents move heat around the planet, shaping coastal temperatures, rainfall, fog, storms, fisheries, and how far polar or tropical air can influence nearby countries.

Arctic Current

Cold water generally flows from polar regions toward the North Atlantic and North Pacific. It cools nearby seas, supports sea ice, and can send colder air and fog toward northern coasts.

Atlantic Current

The Gulf Stream carries warm tropical water north, then the North Atlantic Drift spreads that heat toward Western Europe. This is one reason the UK, Ireland, Norway, and nearby countries stay milder than other places at similar latitudes.

Heat Reach

Warm currents add moisture and energy to the air above them. Winds can carry that warmth inland, increasing rainfall or softening winter cold near coasts.

Cold Reach

Cold currents stabilize air, encourage fog, reduce evaporation, and can help create dry coastal climates when the air does not rise into rain clouds.

How Earth Shapes Weather

Weather varies with sunlight, air pressure, oceans, land, and mountains. These patterns can be observed locally and compared across regions.

Global Wind & Pressure Belts

Recurring wind and pressure patterns differ by region and season. Local winds can depart from these broad patterns.

Rising and Sinking Air

Warm air can rise and form clouds. Sinking, drier air is often associated with clearer conditions. These patterns vary by location and season.

U.S. Regional Climates

Coasts often have smaller temperature swings, but warm water can make them humid and stormy while cool water can bring fog. Winds, mountains, and seasons make each region different.

Southern California coast

Los Angeles has mild, dry summers and wetter winters. Cool ocean air and the marine layer temper the shore; hills limit that cooling inland.

Pacific Northwest coast

Pacific storms and moist air bring cloudy, rainy winters. Mountains boost rainfall; east of the Cascades is much drier.

Arizona deserts

Low deserts are very hot and dry before summer monsoon moisture brings bursts of thunderstorms, dust, and flash-flood risk.

New Mexico high desert

Elevation brings cooler nights than in lower deserts. Summer monsoon storms are common, especially near mountains.

Rocky Mountains

Higher slopes are cooler and snowier; sheltered valleys and land downwind of the mountains can be much drier.

Great Plains

Cold northern air, dry western air, and humid Gulf air can meet here, bringing big temperature swings and strong thunderstorms.

Midwest and Great Lakes

Seasons vary widely. Cold air crossing open lakes can produce narrow, heavy snow bands downwind.

Louisiana bayou country

Low-lying wetlands and warm Gulf air make the region humid, with frequent warm-season showers and heavy rain.

Florida peninsula

Warm water keeps the air humid. Sea breezes and daytime heating help trigger frequent summer thunderstorms.

Southern Appalachians

Higher ridges are cooler; moist air pushed uphill can bring heavy rain to some slopes and valleys.

Northeast coast

The Atlantic softens some coastal temperature extremes, but seasons still change sharply and nor’easters can bring rain or snow.
