Vermont is a tiny state in the northeastern United States, once claimed by France and inhabited by the Abenaki and Iroquois Indian tribes. Vermont was, along with Hawaii, California and Texas one of the four American states that once had their own sovereignty. The predominantly mountain state of Vermont is the largest producer of maple syrup in the United States.

Vermont Weather

There are four seasons in Vermont, with large differences between summer and winter. The average temperature in January is -4 °C, making Vermont one of the coldest states in the US. Yet it doesn’t snow as often as you might expect.

Muddy springs and soaring temperatures of 5 °C to 20 °C are typical of the spring, and 30-degree heat as early as April is not rare. The average temperature reaches 30 °C in summer, after which the whole state turns red and orange thanks to the ubiquitous maple trees.
