Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Midwest Region for March–May 2026. Dated June 2026.

The Midwest had its seventh warmest spring on record. Kentucky and Missouri had their second warmest spring. Spring temperatures were above normal across most of the Midwest, with near-normal conditions in the far upper Midwest. Spring precipitation was near to above normal for much of the region, except the far southeast and far northwest.

NOAA’s Regional Climate Services Program created 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.
