Hot summer forecast and active hurricane season forecast. June 2010 was the warmest June on record, the 3rd month in a row globally.

This summer is proving to be hotter than usual and is expected to continue through the remainder of this season. In fact, warmer than normal weather is expected to last, perhaps until November.

Meanwhile, last winter's El Nino has been replaced by it's opposite.  A La Nina has developed in the Pacific, with now cooler than normal ocean temperatures.  This development does not bode well for this hurricane season.  More than the average number of hurricanes are expected to occur, in the Atlantic basin.


The only available winter forecast for our area, from the NWS, shows no clear trend.  There are equal chances for either warm or cold weather and as for expected rain or snow , there are also equal chances for either above or below average totals.
