Wisconsin is bordered by Lake Superior in the north and Lake Michigan in the east. [36] The state has over 15,000 named lakes, totaling about 1 million acres (4,000 km 2). Within Wisconsin, Lakes Superior and Michigan total 6.4 million acres (26,000 km 2). [37] Along the two great lakes, Wisconsin has over 500 miles (800 km) of shoreline. [38]
The Wisconsin glaciation extended from about 75,000 to 11,000 years ago, between the Sangamonian Stage and the current interglacial, the Holocene. The maximum ice extent occurred about 25,000–21,000 years ago during the last glacial maximum, also known as the Late Wisconsin in North America. This glaciation radically altered the geography ...
Flooding is projected to become more common in Wisconsin as the climate changes. In most of the Midwest, average annual precipitation has increased by 5 to 10% during the previous half-century. However, rainfall has increased by nearly 35% on the four wettest days of the year. Spring rainfall and yearly precipitation are predicted to rise ...
Climate change has led to the United States warming by 2.6 °F (1.4 °C) since 1970. [ 3 ] The climate of the United States is shifting in ways that are widespread and varied between regions. [ 4 ][ 5 ] From 2010 to 2019, the United States experienced its hottest decade on record. [ 6 ]
Daily high temperatures range from 70 to 80 °F (21 to 27 °C) in the summer to 50 to 65 °F (10 to 16 °C) in winter, with low temperatures from the 60 °F (16 °C)s in summer to the mid 40s F in winter. [citation needed] Like most Mediterranean climates, much of coastal California has a wet winter and dry summer.
Laurentide ice sheet. The maximum extent of glacial ice in the north polar area during the Pleistocene period included the vast Laurentide ice sheet in eastern North America. The Laurentide ice sheet was a massive sheet of ice that covered millions of square miles, including most of Canada and a large portion of the Northern United States ...
Tropical Depression Beryl is moving north with a path of storms in parts of the Midwest, but even Wisconsin could see some rain.. According to the National Weather Service, remnants of Beryl are ...
