The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released its summer forecast, indicating a potential for hotter than usual temperatures across the majority of the United States.
According to the latest three-month outlook, forecasters anticipate above-normal heat during the months of June, July, and August, with the most significant likelihood of elevated temperatures centered in the Western states. Exceptions to this warming trend include North and South Dakota, Minnesota, and western Iowa, which are not expected to experience these warmer conditions.
Additionally, regions projected to face these higher temperatures might also encounter below-average precipitation levels. In contrast, the eastern part of the U.S. is predicted to see more rainfall than usual. These weather patterns align with the onset of a La Niña phase, typically linked with drier conditions in the southern half of the nation. This combination of higher temperatures and varying precipitation could significantly impact weather-related planning and activities throughout the country.
