The wide range in annual temperatures is due to the high degree of variation in the kinds of weather <br />systems that influence the interior of continents. In winter temperature is largely controlled by the influx of <br />more polar air. In summer the combination of a southerly air flow and the lack of attenuating water bodies <br />results in high temperatures. <br />The wide range in daily temperatures (about 30 degrees F) is due to a low humidity. With increasing <br />humidity the temperature range tends to be reduced due to the ability of water vapor to hold heat gathered <br />during the day followed by a slow release of heat at night. <br />2 <br />
