Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Gary and Lauren Moylan break down what’s actually happening in the atmosphere right now and why it matters for agriculture. The pattern is cycling, the drought map is shifting, and the next few weeks will tell us whether we’re headed toward relief or tightening conditions. We also get into the gap between real forecasting and media hype, how long-range models can be right more often than people think, and what producers should be watching as we move into the next phase of this weather cycle.LinksWeather 20/20 Dashboard Discount⁠ - https://www.weather2020.com/partner/cattle-usaSubstack - https://weather2020.substack.com/The Global Predictor App ⁠- ⁠https://www.weather2020.com/global-predictor-mobile-appYoutube⁠ -https://www.youtube.com/@Weather2020Follow Gary on X ⁠- https://x.com/glezak CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m⁠CattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusadrive.com/CattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_laurenmoylan/Lauren’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ShowboatmediacoThe Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/TakeawaysThe weather pattern is currently cycling and evolving.Understanding weather cycles is crucial for agricultural planning.Drought conditions can expand or contract based on weather patterns.Accurate long-range forecasting can help mitigate risks in agriculture.Media hype can distort public perception of weather events.Forecasting accuracy varies, with some predictions being up to 90% accurate.The current weather cycle may lead to increased fire risks in certain regions.The importance of monitoring drought conditions for farmers and ranchers.Weather patterns can significantly impact planting and harvest schedules.The full weather report will provide insights for the upcoming months.Chapters00:00 Navigating Busy Lives and Travel Challenges11:25 Understanding Weather Patterns and Their Impact20:35 The Importance of Accurate Weather Forecastingweather, drought, agriculture, forecasting, climate, patterns, storms, predictions, media, podcast
