How Low Will Temperatures Drop This Summer?

The National Weather Service says the answer is below normal.

Meteorologists predict highs will stay in the 80s

The National Weather Service recently released its summer forecast, and the news isn't great for those who love warm weather. The agency predicts that temperatures will be below normal across much of the country this summer.

The forecast is based on a number of factors, including La Niña, a weather pattern that brings cooler-than-average ocean temperatures to the central and eastern Pacific Ocean. La Niña is expected to continue through the summer, which will help to keep temperatures down.

In addition to La Niña, the jet stream is also expected to play a role in keeping temperatures cool this summer. The jet stream is a narrow band of high-altitude winds that flows from west to east. When the jet stream is positioned further north than usual, it can bring cooler air from Canada into the United States.

The combination of La Niña and the jet stream is expected to result in a summer that is cooler than normal across much of the country. The NWS predicts that temperatures will be below normal in the Northeast, Midwest, and West Coast. The South is expected to be the only region that experiences near-normal temperatures.

The cooler-than-normal temperatures are expected to have a number of impacts, including:

• Reduced demand for air conditioning
• Increased demand for heating
• Shorter growing season for crops
• Increased risk of frost and freeze damage

The NWS advises people to be prepared for a cooler-than-normal summer. This includes taking steps to stay warm, such as wearing layers of clothing and using blankets. People should also be prepared for the possibility of frost and freeze damage, especially in areas that are prone to these events.
