Customize Your Weather. Wisconsin, the Badger state, has a diverse geography that consists of Lake Superior lowlands, western uplands, northern highlands, central plains, and eastern lowlands near Lake Michigan.
The topographical features include mixed hardwood and coniferous forests, farmlands, hills, glacial lakes, and rivers. Marshy areas and fertile river valleys with temperate weather enhance the agriculture produce while rolling hills and clear lakes provide some of the best recreational activities. Clouds cover the skies for a significant part of the year in many places. The north, west, and central Wisconsin regions have a short growing season on account of a small freeze-free period compared to the eastern and southern regions that have the warm impact of Lake Michigan.
The northern highlands and western uplands receive snowfall up to " mm , while the rest of the state averages 40" mm. Snow stays on the ground for nearly days during the year near Lake Superior, while the cover lasts for 65 days in the south.
Rainfall averages 35" mm in the state with the northwest significantly wetter than the south and east. Wisconsin experiences thunderstorms, tornadoes and is prone to flooding during late spring and early summer.
April and May during the spring and June during the summer are usually the rainiest months in the state. Snowstorms are frequent, and fog is prevalent in many places during the early morning during the winter. The best time to visit Wisconsin is from May to October that envelops the warm days of spring, summer, and autumn seasons.
Early spring is cold and rainy, while late fall feels chilly. The Great Lakes have their microclimates that feel cooler than the rest of Wisconsin and tend to bring pleasant temperatures during the summer. Late spring and early fall are mild with comfortable temperatures. Mid-autumn is attractive due to the beautiful fall foliage, the dispersal of the summer crowds, and amicable temperatures.
Wisconsin has severely cold winters, while the summers tend to be hot and range from warm in the north to hot in the southern regions. The worst time to visit Wisconsin is the harsh winter season from December to February , particularly in the northern highlands and areas near Lake Superior, which see a large amount of snow that often crosses " mm.
Blizzards are common during the winter and affect day-to-day life and weather conditions. Additionally, the days are short in the cold months, the sunshine limits to a few hours daily, while the sun is on vacation for days together. Wisconsin is vulnerable to intense thunderstorms, tornadoes, and serious flooding in late spring and early summer.
The storms push strong winds usually from west to east or more, particularly from southwest to northeast. The spring temperatures contribute to the melting of snow and along with occasional heavy rains cause severe flooding in April.
Thunderstorms also contribute to excessive rainfall in a short period that is sufficient to cause flash floods in river tributaries, small streams, and creeks. Snowstorms are common during the winter and accumulate a vast amount of snow deposits, especially in the Lake Superior snow belt.
January is the coldest month of the year in Wisconsin , as it becomes exceedingly difficult to stay outdoors even for a few minutes. Wind chill screws the nails on the coffin further as the temperature feels colder than it registers on the scale. January is the snowiest month of the year as the average accumulation is 15" mm in the state.
Black ice, slippery roads, and snow make driving a challenge - add to it the gloomy days without the sun in sight, and it is no wonder only a small group of snow lovers cherishes the winter. New Year is one of the coldest periods in Wisconsin that sees celebrations in the indoor warmth of homes and hotels.
February is a winter month in Wisconsin that is severely cold with heavy snowfall. Snowfall is to the tune of an average of 10" mm statewide, which is significantly less than that in the north and west. Sunshine lasts for an average of 13 days in February, and the gloomy days and dark skies do not bode well for outdoor activities. Mountain slopes are not famous for skiing as the state's highest point at Timms Hill is only meters in altitude.
