The Old Farmer’s Almanac has released its Spring 2025 forecast for the U.S., including Illinois. Founded in 1792, The Old Farmer’s Almanac is the nation’s oldest continuously published periodical, known for its weather forecasts, gardening advice, and lifestyle tips. 

The outlook calls for a dry Spring with normal temperatures across the state. The southern region of the state will see cool, dry conditions, while the northwestern section of Illinois will experience warmer, dry weather.

With a claimed accuracy rate of 80%, the Almanac relies on solar patterns and historical weather data to predict trends. As the organization explains, its forecasts are based on 30-year statistical averages prepared by government meteorological agencies.

The Almanac’s Spring forecast offers Illinoisans a reliable early look at the weather for the season ahead.
