Summer is probably the most difficult season for Georgians, and AccuWeather released its annual forecast so you can prepare.
"Meteorological summer starts on Sunday, June 1, and runs through the end of August, a three-month span that will feature sweltering heat, severe weather, intense wildfires and the start of a dynamic hurricane season," Accuweather said in its forecast.
Here's an in-depth look at what these weather experts are predicting is in store for Georgia this summer.
Not-so shocking news for Georgians, this summer is going to be an incredibly hot one. Most of Georgia can expect temperatures one or two degrees higher than the historic average, except for the northern most areas of the state (specifically those along the Tennessee and Carolinas' borders). The Atlanta area alone is looking at 45 days minimum of 90 degree or warmer weather.
Cooling demands will be especially high in the east and south areas of Georgia. This means increased use of air conditioners leading to higher energy costs than the historic averages.
The amount of rain will likely not be different from what most Georgians have seen in summers past. However, those in the upper northwest corner of the state will be seeing a lot more: About 50% higher than the historic average.
With largely average amounts of rain and higher than average temperatures, the drought risks are particularly serious for Georgia's east side. This is why an open burning ban is in effect for much of Georgia now through Sept. 30.
