September was dry across Indiana with some counties being the driest on record since 1895 (Figure 1).
Abnormally dry/drought conditions continue across most of Indiana.
The climate outlooks from the national Climate Prediction Center are indicating significant confidence for below-normal precipitation through the first week of October and the monthly precipitation outlook for October is indicating slight confidence for below-normal precipitation throughout the month.
In last week’s article, cooler and wetter conditions were noted for the first half of September with some uncertainty for the latter half of the month.
After the last several weeks of predominantly dry conditions, the national climate outlooks are finally showing confidence that temperatures should start shifting to cooler than normal and precipitation will be wetter than normal (Figure 1).
This past week has been so enjoyable temperature- and humidity-wise that it was easy to hope that it was going to stay this way for several more weeks.
Rain moved across Indiana earlier this week, bringing much-needed precipitation to the northern counties.
The climate outlooks issued by the national Climate Prediction Center are keeping things exciting for those trying to plan ahead.
On July 16th, the national Climate Prediction Center released the climate outlooks for August (Figure 1) and the August-September-October (Figure 2) period.
