Get ready to crank up the AC! This year, summer is arriving earlier than usual, and it could potentially bring the hottest temperatures ever recorded!
Summer officially arrives in North America with the summer solstice on Thursday, June 20, 2024, at 4:51 pm EDT—the earliest start in 128 years.
The present extended forecast for the upcoming summer months indicates a continuation of the baseline warming trend, raising the possibility of 2024 competing with 2023 as one of the hottest years on record. Last year's heat wasn't an isolated occurrence; rather, it's part of a sustained pattern. NASA reports that the past decade has consistently ranked as the warmest on record, with most forecasters anticipating another year of extreme heat.
The NOAA official Summer temperature outlook shows that most of the United States is expected to be warmer than normal, apart from the northern Plains. As summer gets underway, hotter than normal temperatures are forecasted around three regions: parts of the South, Northwest, and Upper Midwest. Later in the season, above-average temperatures are expected to extend from the South through the Southwest towards the West, with elevated temperatures anticipated in the Northeastern United States as well.
