Eastern Maryland experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters. As you move west the amount of cold and snowfall in winter increases, and the summers are milder. The eastern shore is more likely to experience a direct hit from a hurricane, although geographical barriers to the Maryland shore lower the chances. Indirect hits can create flooding. About 6 tornadoes a year hit Maryland, with little damage done.
