ONLINE VACATION
TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, USA
6/09/14
Hi Everyone. Our trip today is taking us to the southeast part of the
United States to Tallahassee, Florida.
Tallahassee is the capital of the U.S. state of Florida. It is the county
seat and only incorporated municipality in Leon County. Tallahassee
became the capital of Florida, then the Florida Territory, in 1824.
In 1977 a 22-story high-rise Capitol building designed by architect Edward
Durell Stone, was completed. It is now the third-tallest state capitol
building in the United States. In 1978 the old capitol, directly in
front of the new capitol, was scheduled for demolition, but state
officials decided to keep the Old Capitol as a museum.
In 2010, the population of Tallahassee recorded by the U.S. Census Bureau
was 181,376. Their city nickname is "Tally".
January is normally the coldest month with average temperatures between
39 and 64 degrees Fahrenheit. July is normally the hottest month
with average temperatures between 72 and 92 degrees F. The coldest
temperature recorded was in 1899 when it was -2 degrees F. The
hottest temperature recorded was on June 15, 2011 when it was 105
degrees F.
Tallassee gets a lot of rain. June tends to be the rainiest month with an
average of 7.73 inches, and a yearly average of 59.29 inches of rain.
Although several hurricanes have brushed Tallahassee with their outer
rain and wind bands, in recent years only Hurricane Kate, in 1985, has
struck Tallahassee directly. During extremely heavy rains, some low-
lying parts of Tallahassee may flood.
We don't usually think of snow in Florida but over the last 100 years the
city has recorded several snowfalls; the heaviest was 2.8 inches on
February 13, 1958. A White Christmas occurred in 1989, and in 1993
there were traces of snow and high winds. Historically, the city
usually records at least flurries every three to four years, but on
average, measurable amounts of snow 1.0 inch occur only every 17
years. The last measurable snowfall took place in December 1989.
I hope you enjoy our trip to Tallahassee, Florida.
