February 24, 2025 Monday Weather

Wonderful week of warmth

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.

For those getting sunshine this afternoon, temperatures will warm nicely into the 60s and 70s. We’re almost done with February, so much warmer weather is on the way in March especially across Texas, the Gulf coast, and Southeast. Time to plan your Spring Break destinations!

57.7°F is the Lower 48 average high temperature today. Only 20,000 population remains below freezing, so not everyone is thawing out. 67 Million at/above 70°F
