It's Going to Be a Wet and Warm Spring—See the Old Farmer's Almanac Forecast Map Here

While Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, it's never too early to start daydreaming of spring weather. The Old Farmer's Almanac released its long-range forecast for spring 2025, and it looks like most of the country can expect warmer temperatures than usual.

While most of the U.S. will likely experience a warm spring, temperatures may be moderate in some regions. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, people in Southern and Central California, Southern Florida, the Western Ohio Valley, and the Southwest may experience milder temperatures.

In addition to warmer temperatures, most of the country can also expect more rainy days than usual. And if you're living in the Great Lakes, expect to see some late-season snowflakes thanks to chilly April weather.

That said, some parts of the U.S. may experience drier spring conditions, including upper New England, Southern Florida, Texas–Oklahoma and the Heartland, the Western Ohio Valley, the Upper Midwest, and the Pacific Northwest.
