New Hampshire covered in rain, smoke as summer begins. Here's the forecast for the season
It may be summer, but the weather in New Hampshire remains gray and rainy. In fact, most of the region has seen measurable rainfall every weekend for the past 13 weeks, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) of Gray, Maine. Together with the rain, smoke from the wildfires in Canada is clouding the skies, blocking the summer sun and causing poor air quality throughout New Hampshire and Maine. After 13 weeks, you may be wondering if the rain in New Hampshire will ever end, as well as when the smoke will clear up. Here's what to know. As of right now, this coming weekend will also see rain in New Hampshire. The NWS forecasts the potential for showers on Saturday, June 14 and measurable rainfall the night of Sunday, June 15. However, neither day is expected to be a washout, and the NWS says both days will be salvageable. While it cannot be determined with certainty when it will stop raining on the weekends in New Hampshire, the NWS predicts that this pattern may be active for a while. "We're not going to be getting into a dry spell anytime soon," said Sarah Jamison of the NWS. "I can't rule out precipitation going through the end of June." Jamison said that spring and early summer are seeing more rain this year as the climate recovers from the drought last fall, with May 2025 in the top three wettest May's ever recorded in southern New Hampshire. Because rain continues to hit the ground, water continues to be fed into the precipitation system, causing more frequent rainfall. While there are stretches of dry weather between the rain, the NWS predicts that an active pattern will continue to come every few days, possibly through the entire summer. NH summer weather: When will it get hot in New Hampshire? See Farmers' Almanac summer forecast As smoke from the Canadian wildfires continues to travel down into the U.S., New Hampshire and Maine are blanketed with gray, hazy skies. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection have both issued an an air quality alert due to particle pollution, which is making the air unhealthy for sensitive groups. Both states advise that individuals limit outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects, including irritated sinuses, stinging eyes, coughing, shortness of breath and even a rapid heartbeat. People who may be especially sensitive to the air pollutants include children, the elderly, those with heart disease and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or bronchitis. Currently, the air quality alerts are in effect through the morning of Monday, June 9, but they may be extended as the fires continue.

90-degree weather close at hand in the Ozarks
We have yet to hit 90° in Springfield this year, but the average first 90-degree day is just days away on June 13. Parts of Western Missouri and Northwest Arkansas, however, have hit 90° already. In Joplin, 90° was achieved on Sunday, June 8, and 91° was reached in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the same day. It's not unusual for Western Missouri to reach 90° before Springfield. The average first 90-degree day in Joplin is May 29, roughly 2 weeks earlier in the year. Oddly enough, areas west of Springfield also reach 90° earlier. The average first 90-degree day in West Plains, for instance, is on June 10, and in Rolla the average first 90-degree day is June 4. The warmest temperature recorded in Springfield so far is 87°, which was recorded on June 8. The earliest first 90-degree day in Springfield was back in 1907 when the city achieved 90° on March 20. The latest first 90-degree day was on September 26, 1904! Springfield sees an average of 36 90-degree days and two 100-degree days each year. The most 90-degree days recorded in a single year was 86 back in 1954. The most 100-degree days in a single year were 22 in both 1954 and 1934. The last time Springfield recorded 5 or more 100-degree days in a summer was in 2022, when 8 days made the triple digits. There were zero in 2024 and two in 2023. These years produced an average number of 90-degree days, with 37 in 2024 and 39 in 2023. The 2025 summer outlook from the Ozarks First weather team suggests a slow start to the typical summer heat, which may result in a near-normal to slightly cooler-than-normal summer season. This is largely because it takes more energy to heat a wet environment versus a dry one. All the rain we've seen this spring may help hold back the heat a bit longer than normal. On a climatic scale, this summer pattern is shaping up to resemble 2017's pattern. We are coming off an El Niño last spring and are currently engaged in neutral conditions (La Nada). Spring 2017 came with heavy rain and flooding… Sound familiar? This led to a cooler-than-normal summer in 2017. Given the close parallel between 2017 and what we've seen in 2025, we are forecasting a cooler-than-normal summer in the Ozarks. Fingers crossed! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
