Geography

La Antilla is located along the southern coast of Spain, near the border with Portugal. Its average elevation is 12 meters above the sea level. [2]

History

La Antilla beach was discovered near the estuary of Piedras River in the 16th century, at the same time when the Torre del Catalán was built. [3]

At the end of the 19th century, local fishermen started building temporary residences in La Antilla. In 1946, there were about 50 such houes in the area.

In the 2010s, there have been different storms that have pushed back the coastline. The effect of the storms itself has been amplified by the instability of the coastline in the La Antilla area, as well as the presence of coastal works on nearby beaches such as the breakwaters of Villa Real and Isla Cristina. [4]

Late summer and fall tropical cyclones bring precipitation which falls across the Gulf and Atlantic states. During the winter, and spring, Pacific storm systems bring Hawaii and the western United States most of their precipitation. Low pressure systems moving up the East coast bring cold season precipitation to the Mid-West and Northeast states, as well as Great Salt Lake and the Finger Lakes region. The snow to liquid ratio across the contiguous United States averages 13:1, meaning 13 inches (330 mm) of snow melts down to 1 inch (25 mm) of water.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Climate of South Carolina</span> Overview of the climate of the U.S. state of South Carolina

South Carolina has a humid subtropical climate, with hot summers throughout most of the State. But, an exception does occur in the Blue Ridge Mountains, as outlier pockets of an Oceanic Climate do exist. Mild winters predominate in the eastern and southern part of the state, but cool to occasionally cold winters are the standard in the northwestern area of the state, especially areas at or above 600 feet in elevation. On average, between 40 and 80 inches of precipitation falls annually across the state, potentially even in excess of 100 inches in portions of the Appalachian temperate rainforest. Tropical cyclones, and afternoon thunderstorms due to hot and humid conditions, contribute to precipitation during the summer and sometimes fall months, while extratropical cyclones contribute to precipitation during the fall, winter, and spring months. The coast experiences nearly all of their tropical weather impacts from storms coming directly from the Atlantic coast. The northwestern area of the state can receive impacts from both Atlantic basin storms moving westward from the coast and also occasionally very heavy rainfall and flooding from storms originating from the Gulf of Mexico that move inland towards the northeast after making landfall from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana.

Land that is north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences lower temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly consistent all year round and vary solely as a function of elevation. The north of the country usually receives less precipitation than the south.
