Wisconsin Weather
The weather of the state of Wisconsin can basically be described as continental. The Great Lakes, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, have an impact on Wisconsin weather, making the winters cold with snowfall, while the summers are warm. The state receives majority of its rainfall during the growing season and this helps the vegetation to grow and thrive. However, it is not unheard of droughts occurring in the state. |
The average temperature varies in the north and the south of the state, with the north seeing a mean annual temperature of about thirty-nine degrees Fahrenheit, while the south experiences a mean annual temperature of around fifty degrees Fahrenheit. The lowest temperature was recorded as fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit in Couderay in the year 1996 on February 2nd and February 4th. While the highest temperature was recorded in Wisconsin Dells on 13 July 1936 when the temperature reached a boiling 114 degrees Fahrenheit.
The winters in the state are always cold, with temperatures reaching near freezing and below. While the summers are warm with patches of cool weather. The entire state gets rainfall, with the mountainous regions getting more rain than the lowlands. In addition, summer is the time for thunderstorms, and it is quite common to see hailstorms with wind during these months and lightening, which cause substantial damage. In winter, the entire region is covered with snow. Some places get around thirty inches of snow, while others get more than hundred inches! Lake Superior has an effect on the snowfall that fall on the Gogebic Range. The cold winds from the north blow across the warm lake and thereby ensuring heavy snow in the region.
