Old Farmer's Almanac predicts Greater Akron's summer to be hotter than average
Memorial Day has come and gone, and summer is right around the corner. 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.

6 suits worth $3,600 meant for boys in mentorship program stolen off Boston doorstep
Six suits meant for members of a mentorship program for young men were stolen off a porch in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood. Graduates of the Follow Suit mentorship program often leave with some confidence, financial literacy skills, and a brand new custom-tailored suit. "So it's their suit, they picked out what color they want, they picked out the fabric they want, they picked out the pattern they want, so it's their suit," said organizer Anthony Thompson. Members of the Fellow Suit mentorship program wearing their custom-designed suits. Follow Suit 6 custom-designed suits stolen off doorstep However, six of their recent graduates won't be getting the chance to show off their new duds like previous students after Thompson said a porch pirate took the package containing their suits off the doorstep of one of the program organizers, Gilbert White. "I was alerted that it was delivered, I came downstairs and the package was gone," said White. He's in charge of helping the kids pick out their suits, and said one of the biggest challenges now is figuring out how to replace them. "That's a hit to our budget that we have to now replenish in order to remake those suits," said White. Asking for suits to be returned White estimated those six suits total about $3,600 and they are considering this theft a total loss. Not just for them, but for the kids as well. "It's still a hard hit because like you said, the kids have to dedicate their self to coming every Saturday for seven weeks, so then they have to wait another two, three weeks until the suits are completed, so now you're looking into 10 weeks and now there's no suits for the kids so now they're going to be waiting even longer," said Thompson. White told WBZ-TV they're hoping the suits will be returned. "So we're not looking at trying to put anybody behind bars or anything we really just want the suits for these young people in the program that we served," said White.
