Central Mississippi has a humid, subtropical climate with warm, humid summers and short winters. In Mississippi, summer temperatures vary little from one part of the state to another. During winter, however, the southern coast is much warmer than northern regions, due to the influence of the Gulf of Mexico. Humidity in summer is a problem statewide, with the comfort index being 26 out of 100, where the higher the number, the more comfortable. The north-central region of the state averages 53 inches of precipitation per year. Some snow usually falls in the northern and central sections. Mississippi lies in the path of hurricanes, although the southern coast is much more affected by these types of storms. Two tornado alleys cross the state from the southwest to northeast.
