Although last winter was the warmest on record , people in the Midwest Region, which includes Kentucky, can expect a cold and wet 2024-2025 season, according to the Farmers’ Almanac.
The upcoming winter should be wet and milder for most of the U.S., according to the almanac. The 208th edition of the Farmers’ Almanac, out now, foresees a “Wet Winter Whirlwind,” for the upcoming 2024-2025 winter season.
“It definitely looks more wet than white in many areas,” Farmers’ Almanac Editor Sandi Duncan told USA TODAY. “Obviously, depending on where you live, there might be more white than wet, but we’re focusing in on the wet winter ahead.”
The climate pattern known as La Niña — likely to emerge in the September-November period, the Climate Prediction Center said in a recent forecast — could result in a warmer winter than normal in much of the country, she said.
Most of the nation can expect a wet Thanksgiving holiday, too, “except for way out in the Southwest,” she said. And Christmas “looks wet rather than white for most areas.”
