Birmingham, known as Pittsburgh of the South, is the seat of Jefferson County and the largest city in the state of Alabama, USA. This picturesque city lies in the Jones Valley at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains.

Birmingham has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers (temperatures ranging between 21°C and 31°C) and moderately cold winters (average temperatures between 1°C and 12°C). The city occasionally experiences hurricanes owing to its location near the Gulf Coast.
