Climate Outlook

As hunters across Wisconsin gear up for the gun deer season, many are watching the forecast — hoping for just the right conditions to keep deer moving and hands warm.

November is often the beginning of the dreary season in Wisconsin, as clouds increase and a real chill settles over the region.

October is a month of cooling temperatures and drying weather patterns. Some can even see their first flakes by the end of the month!

Temperatures change significantly throughout the month: the beginning of September often feels more summer-like, while the end of the month can take on a brisk, autumn feel.

August is when Wisconsin usually begins its descent into fall: temperatures dip slightly and thunderstorms become less frequent.

July is typically Wisconsin’s hottest month of the year, so don’t get your hopes too high for any “refreshing” temperatures.
