Video Script

Hi, I’m Randall. If you like semi-arid climates with plenty of sunshine and low humidity, Utah might be the place for you here in the United States.

The summer temperatures average around 26 degrees Celsius; winter temperatures around minus 1. Uh, snow in the valleys from November until March, but there’s plenty of snow skiing, and if you like summer activities, there’s hiking, water skiing, but you have to be careful in the summer because there are plenty of thunderstorms that cause sometimes flash floods.

But if you like great weather, Utah is the place for you.
