Will it be cold this winter?
AccuWeather reports that the West Coast and Southwest region will have a warmer than usual winter season with low precipitation due to warmth from the Pacific Ocean.
What will winter 2025 be like in Arizona?
The Southwest’s temperatures should run historically higher than usual due to warmth in the Pacific Ocean. According to AccuWeather’s map, central and southern Arizona’s temperatures will run an average of three degrees and higher, based on historical temperatures in this region.
Because of this warmth in the Southwest, this also creates a drier than usual season, with precipitation expected to be 50-74% lower than usual, making out-of-season wildfires possible, according to AccuWeather.
However, January will most likely bring rainfall for the Southwest, bringing Arizona out of the winter drought. Yet come February, Arizona with return to being warm and dry, potentially bringing near-record temperature highs for February.
Of course I know that the real weather can be dramatically different.
But it is looking good for an early start.
