‘Fingerprints of a warming world’ evident in Minnesota climate trends
Update: 2024-09-26
Description
Minnesota’s climate continues to shift. The trend toward warmer winters and more erratic precipitation patterns continues.
“What we see globally and what we see right in our own backyards are the fingerprints of a warming world,” Heidi Roop, the Director of Minnesota’s Climate Adaptation Partnership, said.
She added that we should expect these extremes to continue.
“If we look out towards the end of the century, some of our future climate models show that our spring-time precipitation could be as much as 40 percent wetter and our summers around 20 percent dryer.”
She spoke more about Minnesota’s climate trends with MPR News Chief Meteorologist Paul Huttner.
