Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Midwest Region for June–August 2024. Dated September 2024.

Summer temperatures were near normal for the majority of the region, except in Ohio and central Kentucky where temperatures were 1–2°F above normal. Summer precipitation (June, July, and August combined) for the Midwest was slightly above normal overall, with precipitation 125%–175% of normal across the northwest, decreasing to 50%–75% of normal across the southeast.

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.
