Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Southern Region for June – August 2018.  Dated September 2018. 

Temperatures varied spatially throughout the Southern Region. Most of the region experienced above normal temperatures, with an area near the Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas borders experiencing below normal temperatures. Summer precipitation also varied spatially throughout the Southern Region. Parts of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana received 50 percent or less of normal precipitation while parts of northwestern Oklahoma and southern Texas received 200–400 percent above normal precipitation.

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 Drought Portal at https://www.drought.gov/drought/resources/reports.
