False

Explanation:

While it is true that this area is called the "Rust Belt," this is not a reference to its weather. Instead, the area receives this name as a reference to the economic decline that it has experienced in recent years, particularly since the 1980s. This term is a reference to the once-powerful industrial sector that dominated the region in the past, and which led to names such as the "Steel Belt or the "Manufacturing Belt."
