Our La Niña Might Rain On Your Christmas Day Parade — A State-by-State Guide

I don’t care that triple-dip La Niña is a fun combo of words, I won’t have any part in it. Like many Aussies, I’m over the onslaught of rain that this unique weather event has created. I just want my summer to be a vibe without any showers, drizzles, and or overflowing streets. Is that really too much to ask for?

Unfortunately, La Niña might have other plans. Moreover, its sopping-wet plans might impact your Christmas, depending on where you live. Therefore, it’s time to get prepped.

Here’s our Christmas day weather forecast that’ll unpack if your December 25 dreams will be rained on.
