![]() ![]() Some people prefer to have all four seasons – fall, winter, spring and summer – and all of the weather that comes with each. ![]() Polar climates are very cold and dry throughout the year. ![]() The six major climate regions are polar, temperate, arid, tropical, Mediterranean and tundra. Tropical zone from 0°–23.5° (between the tropics).In all three of these areas, summers are hot and dry. The area could be split even further into three types of climate: coastal Mediterranean climates, Desert climates and Mountainous alpine climates. The U.S. is typically grouped into five different regions: The Northeast, the Southwest, the West, the Southeast and the Midwest. USA climate varies dramatically by region. The divisional values are weighted by area to compute state wide values and the state wide values are weighted by area to compute regional values. For each climate division, monthly station temperature and precipitation values are computed from the daily observations. There are 344 climate divisions in the CONUS (Continental US). Time zone in Washington, DC, USA (GMT-4) Reference: Saturday, , 3:36 am 2:36 am ![]() From west to east, they are Hawaii, Alaska, Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. The United States is spread across six time zones. Reason being that the seasons are opposite south of the Equator than they are north of the Equator.Time in the United States, by law, is divided into six standard time zones covering the states, territories and other US possessions, with most of the United States observing daylight saving time (DST) for approximately the spring, summer, and fall months. Usually the countries south of the Equator will switch in October or November and then switch back during the months of January through March. Now not to muddy the waters, several of the countries in South America will switch to daylight savings time. In MST, 6.7 and PST 16. In the USA Time Zone of CST, 29.1 of people stay. Almost all states in the US use Daylight Saving Time (DST). In addition the uninhabited atolls of Baker Island (AoE) and Wake Island (WAKT) add to the time zone count, making 11 the total number of time zones in the US. Around 47.6 of people live in EST of the USA Time Zone. There are 9 official time zones according to the law. Most of the population live in the USA Time Zone of EST. If you were to go east from Greenwich you would be adding 1 hour for each time zone such as GMT 1, GMT 2 and so for. The USA Time Zone of Pacific Standard Time is followed by California, Nevada, Washington (state) partially: Idaho, Oregon. Thus the reason South America has GMT-3 "for 3 time zones from Greenwich England" GMT-4 and GMT-5 " for 5 time zones from Greenwich England. So, if as I like to say "Greenwich England is where time begins" you have to subtract 1 hour for each time zone that you move west. This is because all world time starts in Greenwich, London, England at the Royal Observatory, thus answering your first question, What is GMT? "Greenwich Mean Time" other people refer to it as UTC or "Coordinated Universal Time" which is the same. You probably have a couple of questions, One, is what is GMT, the next you might wonder why I counted from a high number to a low number? well when you look at the map of South America you will see that the numbers in the west, to the right are higher than the number to the left. Thinking of heading to South America and are wondering what time it is where your headed? Well South America is divided into 3 time zones. ![]()
