Summer-Like Slug of Heat Pushes Across Much of North America » Yale Climate Connections

  • Much of North America experienced record-breaking early May heat, including 98°F in Burbank, California, on May 9 and 96°F in International Falls, Minnesota, on May 11.
  • This premature heat followed decades of rising temperatures and drought conditions, with climate analysis indicating long-term climate change increased the likelihood by at least 50%.
  • The heatwave worsened wildfires in northern Minnesota and Manitoba, causing structure losses, evacuations exceeding 1,000 homes, two deaths, and air quality alerts with unhealthy conditions for sensitive groups.
  • Austin, Texas recorded consecutive 101°F days and San Antonio hit its earliest 103°F, while large areas of drought persisted in Mexico and the U.S., with reservoirs near historic lows as of April 2025.
  • The event underscores worsening regional drought and heat trends, suggesting that without exceptional wet periods, water shortages and extreme weather may persist or worsen.
