November 2025 Climate Review:
Temperatures averaged above normal by 1 to 3 degrees. As is common during the transition seasons, temperatures were up and down through the month. The first 3 days were rather chilly, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 30s in many areas. The period from the 4th through the 25th was largely above normal except for a brief cold shot from the 9th through 11th. Many areas observed their first freeze of the season during this time with lows falling into the lower half of the 20s. Otherwise much of this period was warm with highs largely in the 60s or 70s. Paducah registered a record high of 77 degrees on the 14th. We finished the month with below normal temperatures from the 26th through 30th. Highs were primarily in the 40s with lows in the 20s or 30s to end the month.
November was drier than normal across the vast majority of our region. Precipitation amounts ranged from 1.5 to 3.5” for most areas which was generally 1 to 2.5” drier than normal. Ripley and Carter Counties in southeast Missouri were particularly dry, with parts of these counties registering a 3” deficit for November. The highest observed total was 4.51” at the Madisonville, KY COOP station in Hopkins County.
