Last summer was one of the hottest on record, but this year may have it beat. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which just released its summer weather forecast for 2024, summer is coming early and it’s likely going to be rainy and hot.
Summer makes its official debut on June 20 and the Old Farmer’s Almanac is calling for a warm, hot, and muggy season for most of the nation. The only exception is the northwest where more seasonable summer temperatures are predicted.
In states east of the Mississippi River, muggy temperatures will likely bring a lot of moisture and thunderstorms to the region. New England is slated to have another wet summer, and thunderstorms will be common in the Great Lakes and midwest region of the country.

The southeast states and mid-Atlantic region will also experience heavy rainfall and hot, humid days throughout the season. Texas, in particular, will experience a very hot summer with a stormier July than August. Areas in the north central region will see varying summer temperatures, but will have an overall warm season, per the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
Two regions of the country—the southwest and Pacific northwest—will experience dry conditions for most of the summer. In the southwest, temperatures will be hot, while people living in the Pacific northwest can expect less extreme conditions.
August will be one of the wettest months across two-thirds of the country. The Old Farmer’s Almanac is encouraging New England gardeners who saw a soggy summer last year to plant rain gardens this year by growing plants that love water, including marigolds, forget-me-nots, canna lilies, day lilies, irises, and hibiscus.
