Document Description

Quarterly Climate Impacts and Outlook for the Great Lakes Region for September – November 2020. Dated December 2020.

While conditions were overall fairly normal throughout the fall, record-setting warmth, especially in the first half of November, was the most notable event this season. Fall precipitation was below or near average, with the basin seeing 87% of average.

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.
