Nebraska Weather
As it is with what we’ve all learned when it comes to weather and climate, Nebraska weather is all about location, location, location. Just as there are TWO major time zones that separate Nebraska, there are supposedly two major climate systems that affect Nebraska weather.
Two thirds of Nebraska (in the eastern areas) have a hot summer continental climate, meaning that there is regular precipitation (rains, etc.) in this face of Nebraska weather during the summer. This also means that certain areas just may have a fixed period of snow cover annually. The last third of Nebraska, the Western part, is said to have semi-arid or steppe climate. What this means in terms of Nebraska weather is that it rains very rarely every year, even during the seasons that you would expect them (such as spring or summer).
It is still rather hard to predict and pinpoint Nebraska weather because of the variations in climate and geography that regularly have to be taken into consideration; the global warming condition is reputed to make this worse still. The one constant in Nebraska (so they say) are the thunderstorms around spring and summer, as the state is located in the country’s Tornado Alley.
