🔥🌞 Summah Heat

Why da next few months might be hottah den normal.

Dis summah, get ready fo some real heat in da U.S., and no just cuz it stay da time fo sweatah.

🌊🌱📊🌡️ Ocean temps, soil moisture, forecast models, an’ da long-term trends, all dem tink contribute to one scorchah summah dis year. Da coasts of New England, dey goin’ feel da heat cuz da Atlantic Ocean already stay like summah. But da Southwest, das where da high temperatures goin’ stay, no doubt.

I can almos’ hear da groan from all you skeptics, tinkin’ dem meteorologists no can give solid predictions even seven days from now, let alone da whole summah. But befo’ you go send me, one meteorologist, all dem accusatory emails, lemme explain how predictions fo’ one whole season work.

Da experts at da National Weathah Service, dey come up wit dese forecasts by tinkin’ bout da land, da water, an’ da atmospheric conditions dat goin’ affect an’ control da weathah patterns fo’ da next few months. Dey use words like “leaning” if dey feel there’s one small chance da temperatures or rainfall goin’ be outside da norm.

Look at da map down below, dat show da experts’ predictions fo’ dis summah. But no mean Arizona goin’ be hottah den Michigan. It jus’ mean da chance of one supah hot summah stay way highah in Arizona dan in Michigan.

If you stay in one place where above-average heat goin’ come dis summah—like New York, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, o’ Seattle, fo’ examples—no mean every day goin’ stay like dat. Wat da experts tryna say is dat ova da next three months, got at least one chance, maybe even one big chance, fo’ da weathah fo’ be hottah den da past three decades. Fo’ da past years, da summah weathah stay gettin’ hottah an’ hottah, ’cause all da human-induced climate change goin’ make da extreme heat even mo’ intense.

Now, let me tell you wat da diff’rent regions in da U.S. goin’ experience dis summah. While plenny places goin’ stay hot, get ready fo’ some differences—dis one big country aftah all.

All Ova da Country
Da forecasters stay predicting one hottah summah in da Northeast cuz da ocean temps close to da coast stay way highah dan normal. Dat might make fo’ some nice swims in da New England beaches, but it also goin’ crank up da air temperature. ‘Cause da coastal waters play one big role in raisin’ da temps, da experts no so sure if da summah goin’ be warmah inland, like in western New York an’ Pennsylvania.

In da South, da heat goin’ ramp up too, especially near da coasts. But da big story fo’ da summah goin’ be da rain. In June, da forecasters say Florida an’ oddah southeastern states might get drenched, mostly ’cause of some possible tropical cyclones early in da season. Da Midwest an’ da Great Lakes might also get one rainiah summah dan normal.

Da Southwest probably goin’ see summah temps above average an’ rainfall below average. Das cuz da southwest monsoon, one seasonal change of winds dat bring in da rainstorms, stay startin’ out slow dis time.

Da forecasters predicting above-average temps fo’ da West Coast, but dey no as confident ’bout dat like dey are fo’ da East Coast. Dey also expectin’ one drier-than-normal summah in da Northwest, mostly ’cause El Niño, one Pacific weathah pattern dat about fo’ form dis summah, usually lead to less rainfall.

Dis summah, bettah stay prepared fo’ da heat, no mattah where you stay. Stay hydrated, find some shade, an’ enjoy da good vibes. 🌡️🌴🏖️

🔥🌞 Summer Heat 🌞🔥

Why the next few months might be hotter than normal.

This summer, get ready for some real heat in the U.S., and not just because it’s the time for sweaters.

🌊🌱📊🌡️ Ocean temperatures, soil moisture, forecast models, and the long-term trends, all of them think contribute to one scorching summer this year. The coasts of New England, they’re going to feel the heat because the Atlantic Ocean already feels like summer. But the Southwest, that’s where the high temperatures are going to stay, no doubt.

I can almost hear the groan from all you skeptics, thinking that meteorologists can’t give solid predictions even seven days from now, let alone the whole summer. But before you go send me, a meteorologist, all those accusatory emails, let me explain how predictions for a whole season work.

The experts at the National Weather Service, they come up with these forecasts by thinking about the land, the water, and the atmospheric conditions that are going to affect and control the weather patterns for the next few months. They use words like “leaning” if they feel there’s a small chance the temperatures or rainfall are going to be outside the norm.

Look at the map down below, that shows the experts’ predictions for this summer. But it doesn’t mean Arizona is going to be hotter than Michigan. It just means the chance of a super hot summer is way higher in Arizona than in Michigan.

If you stay in a place where above-average heat is going to come this summer—like New York, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, or Seattle, for examples—it doesn’t mean every day is going to be like that. What the experts are trying to say is that over the next three months, there’s at least one chance, maybe even one big chance, for the weather to be hotter than the past three decades. For the past years, the summer weather has been getting hotter and hotter because all the human-induced climate change is going to make the extreme heat even more intense.

Now, let me tell you what the different regions in the U.S. are going to experience this summer. While plenty of places are going to stay hot, get ready for some differences—this is one big country after all.

All Over the Country The forecasters are predicting a hotter summer in the Northeast because the ocean temperatures close to the coast are way higher than normal. That might make for some nice swims in the New England beaches, but it’s also going to crank up the air temperature. Because the coastal waters play a big role in raising the temperatures, the experts are not so sure if the summer is going to be warmer inland, like in western New York and Pennsylvania.

In the South, the heat is going to ramp up too, especially near the coasts. But the big story for the summer is going to be the rain. In June, the forecasters say Florida and other southeastern states might get drenched, mostly because of some possible tropical cyclones early in the season. The Midwest and the Great Lakes might also get a rainier summer than normal.

The Southwest is probably going to see summer temperatures above average and rainfall below average. That’s because the southwest monsoon, a seasonal change of winds that bring in the rainstorms, is starting out slow this time.

The forecasters are predicting above-average temperatures for the West Coast, but they’re not as confident about that as they are for the East Coast. They’re also expecting a drier-than-normal summer in the Northwest, mostly because El Niño, a Pacific weather pattern that is about to form this summer, usually leads to less rainfall.

This summer, better stay prepared for the heat, no matter where you stay. Stay hydrated, find some shade, and enjoy the good vibes. 🌡️🌴🏖️
