Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Gulf Coast Region for September–November 2025. Dated December 2025.

Fall 2025 temperatures were above normal for the western half of the Gulf Region and near normal in the eastern portions of the Region. Fall 2025 saw well below normal rainfall across much of the Region, with many stations reporting less than 25 percent of normal. This was true for most stations directly on the coast.

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program creates these climate outlooks to inform the public about recent climate impacts within their respective regions. Each regional report contains easy-to-understand language, and anyone can access them through the U.S. Drought Portal.
