Florida faces rising heat, soaking rains as summer kicks off
The Brief Florida is staring down a higher-than-normal chance of both above-average temperatures and above-average rainfall through July, August and September, which means more heat and rain are coming at the same time. As of June 19, nearly all of peninsular Florida is in some level of drought, except for the Orlando metro. The higher-than-normal chance of above-average rainfall could possibly lead to trouble in the tropics. FLORIDA - The long-anticipated three-month summer outlook was released this week by federal forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center, and let's just say it's about to get wetter and even warmer. Florida is staring down a higher-than-normal chance of both above-average temperatures and above-average rainfall through July, August and September, which means more heat and rain are coming at the same time. Local perspective As of June 19, nearly all of peninsular Florida is in some level of drought, except for the Orlando metro. The Panhandle region is also no longer in drought. The recent rains have helped a lot, but there's still much more to be done for most of our state. From the citrus groves of Polk County to the wetlands of Broward, soil moisture has been falling behind — fast. News of a rainy summer may interrupt pool and beach plans, but it isn't all bad. However, we are about to enter a pretty dry next week as the summer's first heat wave overtakes the eastern third of the U.S. Dig deeper The higher-than-normal chance of above-average rainfall could possibly lead to trouble in the tropics. Although NOAA doesn't make hurricane-specific forecasts in the graphic below, the above-normal precipitation forecast for Florida during the heart of hurricane season is definitely consistent with an active tropical pattern. Whether it's tropical storms or hurricanes, those downpours could be part of the reason rain chances are running higher. And with drought-parched ground, initial rains might run off rather than soak in, potentially boosting flash flooding risks. Then again, a few well-timed tropical systems — minus the damaging winds — could also help alleviate drought conditions across the state. In short, while the storm risk is real, there's also an opportunity for drought recovery — if the rain comes in manageable waves. Big picture view Nationwide, this summer is shaping up to be hot and dry in all the usual places — and then some. Above-normal temperatures are expected across much of the west, Southwest and Northeast, with a particularly high probability centered on the Intermountain West and Four Corners region, as well as New England. Meanwhile, the Upper Midwest and Plains will likely face a dryer-than-average season, which has big implications for corn and soybean crops — especially if early drought signals persist or expand. And don't forget the cities. With New York City, Boston and D.C. in line for above-average heat, expect urban heat risk and energy demand to spike. In places where air-conditioning access is limited, public health could be on the line — especially during multi-day heat waves. What you can do Seasonal outlooks show general trends, not specific forecasts. They don't tell us what will happen on any given day, whether highs or lows are driving the trend of temperatures being "above-normal" in this case, or give exact probabilities of it being warmer or cooler for your location. They also don't predict specific temperatures (highs or low), rainfall amounts, or even whether it'll be rain or snow. Rest assured, if we get snow in Florida this summer, there are bigger problems! What To Expect Florida's summer forecast is hot, humid and stormy, but also hopeful for beneficial rain (in the context of drought.) While the drought is real, so is the potential for a rebound. Just keep an eye on the tropics. We'll likely have higher energy bills with air conditioning working harder, but potentially lower water bills with less irrigation needed.
