Month-By-Month Summer Forecast Released For CT
The Weather Channel issued its latest long-term forecast. Here's a look at the next 3 months for CT.
CONNECTICUT — If you love the heat then you'll love this long-range weather forecast for this summer and into early fall. The Weather Channel released its mid-summer to early fall long-range weather forecast and it's calling for "above-average temperatures" for Connecticut over the next few months.
In July, Connecticut can expect "near- or slightly above-average conditions," according to the report. There are several reasons we'll see warmer temps in July including weak El Nino conditions and because the soil is so moist from the never-ending rain storms we've been experiencing.
In August, Connecticut is expected to see "above-average temperatures" once again and this theme continues into September where "warmer-than-average conditions" are again expected for us.

The National Weather Service's long-range forecast also supports The Weather Channel's findings. The NWS is predicting normal precipitation over the next three months and above average temperatures for the same time period.
It appears, according to the NWS maps seen below, that the western and mid-western parts of the country are expected to see a lot of precipitation while the eastern part of the state looks relatively normal for the rest of the summer.
