the Farmer’s Almanac says no…
The Farmers' Almanac predicts a “Thunder and Zing Spring” for 2025, with wet, stormy weather across much of the United States and South, despite warmer-than-normal conditions.
Texas and Oklahoma are expected to remain mostly dry, though the states will start spring with below-normal temperatures. Then, the Almanac states May will bring warmer-than-usual conditions, and above-average heat is expected through summer, with rainfall staying slightly below to near normal.
This warming trend coincides with the peak of Solar Cycle 25, expected in July 2025. While high solar activity has historically been linked to warmer global temperatures, this connection has weakened in recent decades. Notably, Solar Cycle 25 has already surpassed the peak intensity of Solar Cycle 24, indicating a particularly active cycle.
"A fairly active severe weather season is expected, with the potential for damaging winds, hail and tornadoes—especially in the Deep South, which is forecast to see a wetter-than-normal spring and more frequent thunderstorms," the Almanac states.
