Briefings

A 2026 article reports that Lake Michigan's water levels in January 2013 reached a record low, while the same lake experienced widespread flooding and shoreline erosion in the summer of 2020, breaking the previous record. The evidence highlights a seven-year cycle of extreme water level fluctuations affecting the Great Lakes system.

Key points

• Lake Michigan recorded its lowest water level on record in January 2013.
• The lake broke the opposite record in the summer of 2020 with flooding and shoreline erosion.

Context and limitations

The evidence covers only two specific years (2013 and 2020) and does not provide data on other years or long-term trends.
