Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Western Region for June–August 2025. Dated September 2025.

Summer temperatures were above normal for most of the West except for isolated areas along the California coast, south central Nevada, and eastern New Mexico. Precipitation was below normal for most of the West, especially in coastal California and the Pacific Northwest. Monsoon season precipitation anomalies were mixed with below-normal totals for most of Arizona and western New Mexico, and above-normal totals for the rest of New Mexico.

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.
