The noticeable switch from hot and humid weather to cool and drier weather, and back again, brought hope of rain as July melted into August in far-northern Wisconsin. Unfortunately the hope of rain did not turn into actual moisture for most. Much of northern Wisconsin remains dry with large …
Dangerous heat has been spreading across much of the United States as a prolonged heat wave spread from the western United States eastward to the Midwest and South.
As the third week in July began, a heat dome moved into the Upper Midwest. Much of Wisconsin had already become abnormally dry early in July with hot weather and dry winds moving parts of the state rapidly toward drought status. Much of northern Minnesota had slipped into a flash drought.
June was unusual in northern Wisconsin. During the month much of the middle of North America, including most of Wisconsin, had very hot days early on followed by record coolness as the jet stream sagged south. The sag of the jet stream allowed cold and dry northern air to drift down over the…
February 2026 was nominally the second-warmest February on record, behind February 2024, with a monthly global average of about 2.78 degrees warmer than the 1850-1900 average. But it only marginally exceeded the conditions in February 2025 and 2016, so all three of those years could be consi…
Climate change is supercharging the water cycle, bringing heavier rainfall extremes and related flood risks across the United States. Some 129 U.S. cities – 90 percent of 144 analyzed –have experienced an increase in hourly rainfall intensity since 1970. Across those 129 locations, hourly ra…
May in far-northern Wisconsin was damp and cool. Many mornings the air over land along Lake Superior almost invited Jack Frost for a late visit. It seemed like the liquid in outdoor thermometers was influenced more by gravity than by heat. Lake Superior surface-water temperatures in some are…
Whether working in the field or preparing the farm for severe storms, a weather forecast is essential. Folks might instinctively grab their smartphones to check an app for an instant weather update. But many times the sky has painted a different picture than what’s on that screen.
As climate change increases the frequency of drought, excessive rainfall and other extreme-weather events, farmers face growing uncertainty about crop production. Understanding how farmers perceive and respond to that uncertainty can help improve agricultural policy and climate-adaptation st…
Wisconsin continues to experience significant climate-change impacts, including warming temperatures, increased precipitation and more-frequent extreme-weather events. The Extreme Weather Index, developed by the University of Wisconsin-Wisconsin State Climatology Office, shows that the 2010s…
Temperatures remained cooler-than-normal in Wisconsin the week of May 14, with many locations reporting average temperatures of 4 to 8 degrees colder than normal. Most of Wisconsin received no precipitation. Totals were more in the northwest, but those totals were less than normal for this t…
