California


Conditions and climate vary dramatically throughout this large state, with the greatest rainfall in the northern coastal areas, heavy winter snow in the mountains from the Sierra Nevada down to Yosemite, and extreme heat in the southeast deserts. California residents should be prepared for wildfires, landslides, mudslides, flooding, earthquakes, and even tsunamis.
