Top Ten Hottest States In The USA
In the USA it is that time of year where many people feel the heat and forced to stay indoors because of it. Extreme heat can be deadly and more so if people don’t drink enough and might not be use to the heat. If you’re planning a trip to the USA then you might want to know the top ten hottest states and plan accordingly. Just remember, the temperatures change according to the season so if you’re unsure then check the weather channel in the USA first. Sun block lotion is always handy to have whenever you might be visiting a hot state. Another thing that might help so it’s not so hot is just simply wearing a hat plus sunglasses.
10. Louisiana
Louisiana is known to get a lot of rain but she also gets heat. In the winter time places like Lake Charles, Baton Rouge plus New Orleans might go over 60 degrees and that’s hot for the winter. These same places seem to average at around 57 inches of rain if not more per year. Lake Charles people can feel the sun shining half the time but some might claim that it’s just not enough and this is another reason as to why people get surprised about the hot temperatures in Louisiana.
9. Delaware
In the winter time people in Wilmington can feel relief as it hits around the 40 degrees area but in the summer time you can expect for the temperatures to be around the 80s and sometimes even in the 90’s. Another thing going against Delaware is the fact that it does not get a lot of rain and sometimes it only averages to about 43 inches per year.
8. North and South Carolina
The Carolina’s differ in temperature but not by much. Charleston averages around 57 degrees throughout a good portion of the year with only receiving 46 in of rain. After July it can start turning rather hot in South Carolina and might shock the system after enjoying 57 degree weather. North Carolina averages around the 80’s and the 90’s in the summer but in the winter time it gets around 40 degrees.
7. Georgia
Georgia has some good weather sometimes and then other times it might not be so good. In the summer time it can reach around the high 90’s to even the low 100’s. Macon is also very sunny but at the same time its dry and that might make the hot weather seem even hotter. A lot of times Macon and other parts of Georgia undergo drought during the summer time because of the extreme heat. May and September might be good months to visit Georgia but then in May is when the state gets hit with a lot of tornado watches. However, there are lots of very nice scenery places to visit in Georgia such as the Little Grand Canyon.

3. Tennessee
In the fall Tennessee can average very comfortable temperatures. Sometimes in the winter there are some places in Tennessee that might even see snow.
