Northeast Summer Forecast
The Northeast summer forecast is out. Accuweather meteorologist Joe Bastardi predicts that the Northeast will see an above average summer in terms of temperature anomalies. This includes all the major cities along the corridor. The forecast is derived by looking at current trends very similar to those in the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s which were also over active tropical cyclone years. At the end of the day, we are in a pattern that may not necessarily be linked to global warming, even though many experts are pointing their fingers at increased emissions as the culprit. The prediction calls for the above normal temperatures to occur in the second half of the summer, so July and August should be hot months for us with a few bouts of heat waves. This is a concern for consumers as we will have to shell out more cash for energy costs, I'll just take many cool showers this summer!
