The average annual precipitation is about 1000 mm. In the Central Plains, because the terrain is open from north to south, cold air can go south in winter and hot south wind can blow in in in summer, so Leng Xia is hot in winter.

Generally speaking, the northeast windward slope is rich in precipitation, while the southwest leeward slope is dry and rainy, and the annual precipitation of individual windward slopes can reach12000 mm.

The coastal areas in the northeast of the United States and the Great Lakes in the north have a temperate and humid continental climate, with cold winters and mild and rainy summers. The southeast has a subtropical humid climate, which is warm in winter, warm in summer and abundant in precipitation.
