Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Brutal Summer 2025

We've been really fortunate in the Texas Panhandle to have a decent amount of rain this year. Lake McLellan even has water in it again, after years of being bone dry. The temperatures haven't been too bad either.

Unfortunately, it could all be coming to an end, and the usual summer weather we've come to know and hate in the Texas panhandle is about to show up. According to the Farmer's Almanac, it's going to be rough this year.

What Does Farmer's Almanac Say For Amarillo Summer 2025?

When it comes to forecasting or guessing what the weather is going to be like, the Farmer's Almanac is a sacred tome that generations of people swear by. For summer of 2025, the news isn't great.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, not only is it supposed to be dry this summer, but it's going to be hotter than it was last year. If you remember the summer of 2024, it was brutal.

Last year, we broke all kinds of weather-related records, and the summertime records we broke didn't feel like something to celebrate. According to the Farmer's Almanac, we're supposed to be 4 degrees hotter this year.

Be Safe In The Brutal Texas Panhandle Heat

It's going to be important this year to make sure you do all you can to keep cool and hydrated. The heat in the panhandle can be brutal, and if you aren't prepared, it can make you sick or worse.

If this summer ends up hotter than last year, it's going to be important to not just take care of yourself, but check in on loved ones, too. Make sure you've got a way to stay cool, and drink a lot of water.
