    Weather Extremes Abound

    Author(s): Aaron Wilson

    Climate Summary
    June was a warm month for Ohio, with temperatures averaging 1-3°F above the long-term mean (1991-2020). This was especially true for June 16-22, a 5-day stretch with daytime highs at or above 90°F. This was the second longest consecutive 90-degree day stretch for Toledo for the month of June. Growing degree days continue to run 120-180 days above normal, evident by the advanced growth in our crops across the state (tasseling corn, flowering beans, and early wheat harvest).

    Weather Update: Winter Weather Finally Arrives, But Will It Stick Around?

    Author(s): Aaron Wilson

    For Ohio, December 2023 ranks as the 2nd warmest December on record since 1895 and caps off the 4th warmest year on record over that same period. Dry weather was also the main story in December, ranking as the 45th driest December on record and continued a pattern we experienced over much of the fall. However, even with a weather pattern that typically brings a drier and warmer than average conditions in winter, cold outbreaks are bound to happen.
