| Alabama is located in the Southern United States. It is bordered
by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Florida and the Gulf
of Mexico to the south, and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is
known as The Heart of Dixie and the Yellowhammer state. The capital
is Montgomery and the largest city is Birmingham. Alabama is the
30th largest state in the United States with 52,423 square miles of
total area. 3.19% of that is water, making Alabama 23rd in the
amount of surface water, also giving it the second largest inland
waterway system in the United States. About three-fifths of the land
area is a gentle plain with a general decline towards the
Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The North Alabama region
is mostly mountainous, with the Tennessee River cutting a large
valley creating numerous creeks, streams, rivers, mountains, and
lakes.
The climate of Alabama is best described as being a humid
subtropical climate. This is especially true in the southern part of
the state with its close proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, while the
northern parts of the state, especially in the Appalachian Mountains
in the northeast, tend to be much closer to a continental climate.
Generally, Alabama has very hot summers and mild winters with
copious precipitation throughout the year. March is typically the
wettest month and October is the driest month.
