NOAA prediction: a hot summer


Recommended Posts

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports "elevated chances of well above average summer temperatures" for 2016:

Will 2016 top the inferno of 2015?

I'd guess, it depends on where you live.

Here in the West, the same outfit (NOAA) predicts 75% chance of cooler temperatures and more rain due to La Niña.

Go figure...

It's been a pretty great Spring with cooler temperatures in SoCal. Love your presentation! Very nice!

What will this mean for the U.S.?

With La Niña installed in the tropical Pacific, we should expect a more active storm track, above normal precipitation and cooler weather over a wide sector of Pacific Northwest. Positive precipitation anomalies would also extend through the Intermountain West, and across sections of the north plains into the Great Lakes region. The south would experience a very different story than what they have been through these past 6 months with El Niño. Drier and milder weather conditions would extend from the Four Corner states across the South and Central Pains all the way to Florida.
