Chapter 6: The North Atlantic Provinces and Northern New England

North Atlantic Provinces

Northern New England

Santa Clarita does not have much in common with the North Atlantic Provinces and Northern New England and this can largely be attributed to each spot's location within the US and proximity to its respective coast.  It would be rare to see the temperature in the North Atlantic to rise over 88 degrees and as discussed in the climate section, the average summer temperature in Santa Clarita is in the high 90's.  We also have learned that snow is Santa Clarita is extremely rare unlike that of these regions.  The precipitation in each of the two spots is very different as well with Santa Clarita averaging 0-5 inches of precipitation monthly.  Due to its desert-like status, SCV is much drier than the North Atlantic Provinces and Northern New England and this can be sen in both of their different humidities.  Santa Clarita, due to its location in California, is closest to the Pacific Ocean, while the North Atlantic Provinces and Northern New England rely largely on their location along the Atlantic Ocean.
