       The United States has many different kinds of climates. On the northwest coast, the temperature

  changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central states have a very different kind of

  climate. In those states, people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy woolen clothes in

  winter.

       In the southwest coast, the climate is rainy and warm during the winter, but the summer is dry and hot.

       In the northeast of the United States, summer temperature's are very different from winter

  temperatures. Summer is usually hot, and winter is usually cold. Spring temperatures are warm, and fall

  temperatures arc cool.

       Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didn't often get fresh vegetables and fresh

  fruits during the summer. Today, however, trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all

   parts of the United States. In this way, Americans "send their climates"to people in other states.
