St. George just broke its all-time record for the most precipitation during a water year, which is measured from October to October.

Utah reached its highest dew point levels on record in August. But climate change means humid summers might be the new norm in the dry state.

Relentless heat waves across Utah set new records for daytime highs and overnight lows, creating dangerous health risks and speeding the return of drought.

Record snowpack helped pull most of Utah out of drought earlier this year. But recent heat waves paired with a dry monsoon season have accelerated its return.

St. George, Utah, has already seen daytime highs at or above 100 degrees every day in July, and it's about to get worse.

“With it being so dry and with the fuels just ready to go, we're pretty much issuing red flag warnings almost every day at this point,” said Mark Miller, a National Weather service meteorologist who forecasts for southeast Utah.

The National Weather Service expects above-average temperatures throughout the state from July to September.

El Niño is expected to bring a shift to weather patterns across the western United States this year. For some parts of Utah, that might mean a drier summer. But Utahns shouldn’t expect to see much drastic change right away.

Tooele County is preparing for flooding following last July’s Jacob City fire in Soldier Canyon.

A lot of agricultural routines are based on meteorlogical spring and past dry conditions. Utah’s record snow is welcome, but farmers have a schedule to keep.

Climate experts say all the snow and rain over the winter helped alleviate dry conditions in many parts of the West. But it's nowhere near enough to unravel the long-term effects of a stubborn drought.

After last August’s 100-year flood, Grand County officials are stepping up their emergency response preparation.
