What the month did

February 2025 was the 56th-warmest February in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 34.7°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 35.6°F (-0.9°F).

February 2025 was the 56th-wettest February in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 2.2in against a 1991–2020 normal of 2.1in (+0.0in).

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.

We have Winter and Spring separated by only a matter of 50-miles across the Plaines and into North Texas this afternoon with near freezing temperatures next to 70s and 80s.

I’m happy to be in the 70s here in Atlanta rather than the 20s up in Michigan.
