Rain, Wind, Heat: 2025 Weather in Review
December 2025 was a wild month for weather. An atmospheric river dumped historic amounts of rainfall on northwest Washington in early December, leading to flooding, landslides, and power outages.
A few days later, a windstorm swept across eastern Washington. Gusts of 83 miles per hour were recorded in Pullman. The winds were accompanied by an unusual winter thunderstorm.
In a Washington State Magazine podcast, Josh Ward and Jon Contezac discuss significant weather events of 2025. They are field meteorologists for Washington State University's AgWeatherNet.
