Buckle Up: North Carolina and South Carolina In For Rough Summer

It's going to be a scorcher out there.

We've all spent the last few months complaining about how cold it's been, and now, we're going to be complaining about how hot it's going to be.

The Summer of 2024 was the Earth's hottest on record since records started being kept in 1880, and those record temps aren't going anywhere.

The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its forecast for the Summer of 2025, and all I can say is, make sure your fans are working.

Hot Weather Headed This Way

The Almanac is predicting the Midwest will be an average 4 degrees higher this summer than normal (compared to the forecasted national average of 2.5 degrees above normal), and that the Deep South will be seeing "Significantly Warmer Conditions."

You've got time to get yourself ready, as meteorological summer won't be kicking off until June 1st, with the astronomical summer solstice starting up on June 20th.

The Farmer's Almanac says they wouldn't be surprised to see record-breaking heat this summer, given the trends from recent years. Looks like we're going to be seeing a toasty summer any way you look at it.

Hurricanes

While they don't see a high chance of hurricanes for the Carolinas just yet, they are warning of Tropical Storms.

Watch for tropical storms to develop from Florida all the way up to southern Virginia when Mid-July rolls around.
