Listed below are the ten states with the coldest average annual temperatures in the USA.

It's common knowledge that the United States has one of the world's most varied climates. Beaches That's correct; there are plenty of them in the area. Deserts Furthermore, you possess those The United States experiences a wide range of temperatures because there are two main climate zones: the Continental Zone, which covers a large portion of the country, and the Maritime Zone, which covers the east coast. This zone difference is due to the interaction of latitude and prevailing winds. Following is a list of the ten states with the lowest average temperatures in the United States:

#1, Alaska: 28 1°F

When compared to other US states, Alaska naturally ranks highest in coldness. Alaska, the most northwestern state in the United States, has the advantage of being much closer to the North Pole than any of the other states. Alaska has long, cold winters that are often cloudy and covered in snow, and mild but overcast summers. Summer lasts for three months. There are seven months in a year, but the warmest is July, with an average high of 67 degrees and a low of 55. It's been four months since the last major cold snap. With an average low of 13 degrees Fahrenheit and an average high of 24 degrees Fahrenheit, January is the coldest month of the year.

It is the ocean currents that have a significant impact on the severe weather patterns in Alaska. The Alaska Current flows along the state's western coast, and a cold, westerly-flowing ocean current affects Alaska's Arctic coast. Extremely cold temperatures are the result of the continental climate experienced in the interior of Alaska, which is influenced by the strong cold winds from northern Canada and Siberia.

Second, North Dakota, with a score of 41 1°F

North Dakota is one of the coldest areas in the continental United States because of its remote location at the very end of the Midwest. North Dakota has a continental climate, so its summers are scorching and its winters are bitterly cold. North Dakota is notable for its mostly flat terrain and sparse vegetation. This makes it easy for the bitter Arctic winds to blow south into the state, where they cause dangerously low temperatures.

Winters are cold, with average lows ranging from 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the north to 17 degrees Fahrenheit in the south. North Dakota receives an average of 19 inches of rain and 39 inches of snow per year. Around 201 clear days a year are typical. There are three months out of the year that are ideal for outdoor activities in North Dakota.

Third-place: Minnesota, 41 8°F

Location in the country's Upper Midwest and proximity to Lake Superior on its northeastern side greatly affect Minnesota's climate. In the far north of Minnesota, where winters are brutally cold and summer frosts are possible, Lake Superior plays a crucial role in reducing extremes of heat and cold. In addition, the state of Minnesota has a continental climate, meaning that its winters are very cold and its summers are very hot.  

The best time to visit Minnesota for warm-weather activities is from the middle of June to the beginning of September. As a matter of fact, there are three We enjoy nine months of warm weather with average daily highs above 71 degrees Fahrenheit.

Averaging below 36 degrees Fahrenheit on a daily basis, the cold season lasts for about three months. 3 months The average high for January is only 24 degrees Fahrenheit, and the average low is 10 degrees.  

4. Maine - 41 9°F

The summers in Maine are hot and wet, and the winters are long and extremely cold, typical of the humid continental climate. It gets much colder in the winter in the northern and western parts of the state, while the Atlantic Ocean helps keep the coastal regions at a more pleasant temperature.

The warm season, with daily highs above 68 degrees Fahrenheit on average, typically lasts for three months. 9 months The average high temperature in Maine is 79 degrees Fahrenheit in the month of July, while the average low temperature is 59 degrees. During the three months that see daily averages below 34 degrees Fahrenheit, we call it "the cold season." 3 months Both the high and low averages for the year are at their lowest in January, at 8 and 23 degrees Fahrenheit, respectively.

Five, Wyoming: 42 3°F

Warm summers and cold winters characterize Wyoming's semi-arid and continental climate. The topography of Wyoming has a significant impact on the state's climate, which features more pronounced seasonal temperature shifts. About 200 inches of snowfall is common in the state's highlands and mountains, while only about 50 inches of snowfall is common in the lowlands. As an added bonus, the Chinook winds cause some regions to experience unusually high temperatures.  

The state's extremes of temperature occur primarily in January and July. Conditions are usually pleasant, with a low of 14 degrees Fahrenheit and a high of 94 degrees Fahrenheit being extremely unusual. For pleasant temperatures and clear skies, visitors should plan their trip to Wyoming for the whole month of June or between the middle of August and the end of September.

6-Montana, 42 6°F

Topography plays a significant role in shaping Montana's weather. The eastern part of the state is made up of semiarid continental climate with extremely cold winters plains, Badlands, and isolated mountain ranges. The Continental Divide blocks the movement of both the moister air from the interior of North America and the drier air from the Pacific Ocean. A Pacific coastal climate characterized by mild summers and wet, foggy winters prevails west of this divide.  

Montana has cold, snowy, and sometimes foggy winters in stark contrast to its brief, warm, and mostly clear summers. The state's coldest month is December, while July sees its highest temperatures. The temperature almost never drops below -8 degrees or rises above 94 degrees.
