Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Canadian and U.S. Prairies and High Plains for March–May 2025, with an outlook for July–September 2025. Dated June 2025.

Spring brought above-normal temperatures across the Prairies and High Plains, especially in the western Canadian Prairies, and portions of Montana, the Dakotas and Minnesota. The Prairies and High Plains saw drier-than-normal conditions overall, with the Canadian Prairies, particularly in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, southern Alberta, and much of Montana experiencing precipitation well below normal for the season.

ECCC, NOAA, and partners 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.
