This editorial context comes from broad state climate guidance, not from the customer or estimate record. Alabama is categorized here as a humid subtropical climate (long humid summers, frequent severe-storm activity, and Gulf hurricane exposure on the coast). For general awning planning, independently verify product ratings for the regional wind exposure (high on the coast, moderate inland), UV load (high), mounting surface, and local code requirements.
