Forecast First: Warmer Temps Favored Across Entire U.S.

[sue4e3]

For the next three months, above-normal temperatures are favored across the U.S., from coast to coast and Mexico to Canada, as well as Alaska, according to government forecasts.

In archives that go back to 1995, that’s never happened, Dan Collins, a forecaster with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Prediction Center, said.

While it doesn’t mean that a three-month-long heat wave is in store, or that there won’t be cooler spells here and there, it does up the odds that 2016 will rank among the hottest years on record for the country. It’s also a mark of the overall warming trend, courtesy of heat-trapping greenhouse gases accumulating in the atmosphere.

1. It has been unusually and consistently miserably hot and dry in Michigan

Rain will be in the forecast, and then it just disappears. I mow every 3 weeks, or so, just to keep weeds in check. The lawn is pretty much fried.

Weirdest summer I've ever experienced.

3. Our humidity has been inconsistent. Not like that is a 'up' side to the situation

So you either have sweat pouring down, making you feel like you are in a sauna, or the sweat is evaporating as soon as it develops, making you feel like you are standing in front of an open oven.
