Hotter-than-average conditions expected statewide<\/strong><\/p>\n NEW YORK, May 31, 2025 \u2014<\/strong> Get ready for a sizzling summer<\/strong> across New York State<\/strong>, as forecasters<\/strong> are warning that Summer 2025<\/strong> could be even hotter<\/strong> than last year. Multiple sources\u2014including the National Weather Service<\/strong>, NOAA<\/strong>, The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/strong>, The Weather Channel<\/strong>, and AccuWeather<\/strong>\u2014have issued alarming projections<\/strong>: temperatures are expected to remain consistently above average<\/strong> across June, July and August<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration<\/strong> indicates a 50\u201360% chance<\/strong> of above-normal temperatures<\/strong> across most of New York<\/strong>, except for Western New York<\/strong>, where the probability slightly tapers to 40\u201350%<\/strong>. While most of the country<\/strong> will grapple with drought conditions<\/strong>, New York<\/strong> might be spared, with a 33\u201340% chance<\/strong> of higher-than-usual rainfall<\/strong>, particularly upstate<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That said, forecasters at NOAA describe the entire contiguous United States<\/strong>, including New York<\/strong>, as expected to \u201clean warm all summer.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/strong>, which has issued weather predictions since 1792<\/strong>, Summer 2025<\/strong> is \u201cshaping up to be a doozy.\u201d<\/strong> Most of New York<\/strong> is projected to experience a hot and dry<\/strong> summer, with Western New York<\/strong> and northern parts of the Adirondacks<\/strong> likely to see a hot but wetter<\/strong> season.<\/p>\n Their seasonal map outlines sharply different conditions<\/strong> within the state itself: from dry heat in Central and Southern New York<\/strong> to humid storms near the Canadian border<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Weather Channel<\/strong> supports the broader consensus of a hot summer<\/strong>, emphasizing above-average temperatures<\/strong> from June through August<\/strong>. However, it offers a slight silver lining: \u201cThe East is not expected to be as hot as a year ago.\u201d<\/strong> Still, New Yorkers<\/strong> should expect a series of 90\u00b0F+ (32\u00b0C+) days<\/strong>, along with slightly higher-than-average rainfall<\/strong>, especially in July<\/strong>.<\/p>\n AccuWeather<\/strong> warns that sweltering heat<\/strong> will push millions of residents to crank up cooling systems<\/strong>, potentially leading to spiked energy bills<\/strong>. Meteorologist Brian Lada<\/strong> noted that temperatures<\/strong> will likely average 1\u20132\u00b0F (0.5\u20131\u00b0C) above the historical norm<\/strong>. While this may sound modest, even small deviations<\/strong> sustained over weeks can intensify discomfort<\/strong>, heat-related illnesses<\/strong>, and power grid strain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With the first day of meteorological summer arriving on June 1<\/strong>, and astronomical summer beginning June 20<\/strong>, New Yorkers<\/strong> should prepare for a long, intense season of heat<\/strong>. From Brooklyn to Buffalo<\/strong>, the Empire State<\/strong> is heading into another hot chapter<\/strong> in its weather history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hotter-than-average conditions expected statewide NEW YORK, May 31, 2025 \u2014 Get ready for a sizzling summer across New York State, as forecasters are warning that Summer 2025 could be even hotter than last year.
