A hotter-than-average season expected across New York State<\/strong><\/p>\n According to the latest seasonal outlooks<\/strong>, summer 2025<\/strong> is shaping up to be particularly hot<\/strong> across New York State<\/strong>, continuing a recent trend of unusually warm summers. Experts from the National Weather Service<\/strong> and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)<\/strong> predict that temperatures from June through August<\/strong> will trend above average<\/strong> across most of the state. More precisely, there\u2019s a 50 to 60% chance<\/strong> that temperatures will rise above normal throughout New York<\/strong>, with slightly lower odds (40 to 50%<\/strong>) along the far western edge<\/strong>.<\/p>\n While large portions of the United States<\/strong> are expected to face drought<\/strong>, NOAA<\/strong> notes there\u2019s a 33 to 40% chance<\/strong> that New York<\/strong> could see above-average rainfall<\/strong>, particularly in the northern and western regions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac: \u201cShaping up to be a doozy\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/strong>, known for its long-range forecasts, also projects a blazing hot summer<\/strong> for New York<\/strong>. Most of the state is expected to experience a hot and dry season<\/strong>, while Western New York<\/strong> and the far northern reaches of the Adirondacks<\/strong> could see a hot but wetter<\/strong> pattern.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Weather Channel: Above-average heat from June through August<\/strong><\/p>\n The Weather Channel<\/strong> echoes those predictions, forecasting above-normal temperatures<\/strong> across June<\/strong>, July<\/strong>, and August<\/strong> in New York<\/strong>. Rainfall is also expected to be slightly above average<\/strong>, potentially softening the blow of the relentless heat.<\/p>\n However, there may be some small relief: The channel noted that the Northeast<\/strong> and Southwest<\/strong> aren’t expected to be as hot as summer 2024<\/strong>, suggesting slightly less extreme conditions<\/strong> than last year\u2014though still well above normal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n AccuWeather: Hotter days, rising energy bills<\/strong><\/p>\n AccuWeather<\/strong> warns of a sweltering season<\/strong> ahead. Senior meteorologist and content editor Brian Lada<\/strong> reports that temperatures this summer will likely be 1 to 2 degrees Fahrenheit (about 0.5\u20131.1\u00b0C)<\/strong> above historical averages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n That means millions of households<\/strong> could be facing higher utility bills<\/strong> as they rely more heavily on air conditioning, fans, and other cooling systems<\/strong> to beat the heat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A long and hot summer: meteorological vs. astronomical start<\/strong><\/p>\n The meteorological summer<\/strong> officially begins today, June 1<\/strong>, and runs through August 31<\/strong>. Astronomical summer<\/strong>, marked by the summer solstice<\/strong>, starts June 20<\/strong> and ends September 21<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With these forecasts in mind, New York<\/strong> is bracing for a season of persistent heat, intense humidity<\/strong>, and in some regions, frequent storms<\/strong>\u2014a pattern that\u2019s becoming increasingly familiar<\/strong> across the Empire State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A hotter-than-average season expected across New York State According to the latest seasonal outlooks, summer 2025 is shaping up to be particularly hot across New York State, continuing a recent trend of unusually warm summers.
