When La Niña is in effect, wetter than usual conditions are common in the Great Lakes region during winter.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has released its predictions for the winter of 2024-25. Climate experts predict the U.S. will slowly transition into a La Niña pattern that could bring wetter-than-average conditions for the North and drier-than-average conditions for the South.

Large swaths of the South and the East Coast are favored to see warmer-than-average temperatures, while the Pacific Northwest has greater odds of cooler-than-normal conditions this winter.
