Old Farmer's Almanac predicts Greater Akron's summer to be hotter than average
Will this summer season bring warmer-than-usual temperatures and higher levels of rain in Summit County than last summer, where droughts were seemingly commonplace?
Here are some climate predictions from the Old Farmer's Almanac as well as the National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center.
The first day of summer this year will be Friday, June 20.
Weather in June will be normal but temperatures in July and August are expected to be above average.
Last summer was reportedly Earth's hottest summer since at least 1880, and this summer's weather may be just as "intense," according to the Farmer's Almanac.
Rainfall will also be above normal.
The NWS's Climate Prediction Center forecasts temperatures and precipitation are likely to be above average for summer 2025.
The Old Farmer's Almanac uses three disciplines to make its weather predictions: solar science, climatology, and meteorology.
"We predict weather trends and events by comparing solar patterns and historical weather conditions with current solar activity," its website states.
Weather predictions are accurate about 80% of the time, according to its website.
Predictions for the 2023-2024 winter season were less accurate than normal, with a total accuracy rate of 64%. This included being 83.3% accurate in precipitation predictions and 44.4% accurate in temperature predictions.
These inaccurate predictions were a reflection of abnormal weather patterns, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

Heat and humidity to grip New York City as another sweaty summer week kicks off
New Yorkers should prepare for another high electricity bill next month as another wave of heat and humidity is set to envelop the city this week. The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for New York City on Monday and Tuesday that warned of heat index values up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. "These conditions are dangerous to health," the Notify NYC alert said. The people most at risk are those without air conditioning, people with chronic health conditions and people who work outside. The heat will begin to build overnight Sunday into early Monday morning and will continue until at least Wednesday, with heat advisories in place for the next three days, the National Weather Service said in an area forecast discussion. Heat advisories are also in place for New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the NWS said. Heat indices in South Jersey, near Philadelphia, are expected to reach from 100-105 degrees Fahrenheit, with potential to be higher, a NWS area discussion from Mt. Holly, New Jersey, said. Boston — also under a heat advisory — is expected to face heat indices in the mid to upper 90s, according to the NWS. On Monday, the heat will seep into the south, too, with potential temperature records in Gainesville, Florida; Denver; New Orleans and Charlotte. A cold front will move in Wednesday night, bringing with it possible showers, to break up the hot start to the week, the NWS discussion said. In total, 123 million are under heat alerts through the first half of the week, with some alerts in effect through at least Wednesday. The heat was taking hold over the Plains and Southeast U.S. Sunday, with conditions feeling like 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit.
