January 15, 2025 Wednesday Evening Update

What's going on with Apple Weather?

What the month did

January 2025 was the 33rd-coolest January in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 29.2°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 32.3°F (-3.2°F).

January 2025 was the 5th-driest January in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 1.4in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.3in (-1.0in).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Headlines for Monday Evening

What’s up with Apple Weather? Folks on social media are posting screenshots of wild forecasts of snowfall in various cities in the South including Houston and Atlanta.
