2025 summer outlook: Humid start, late summer heat
CLEVELAND — After a rare winter of below-normal snowfall and colder-than-usual temperatures, Northeast Ohioans can expect a summer that feels like a tale of two seasons, according to FOX 8 Weather.
Meteorologist Scott Sabol says the upcoming summer will feature an active storm track through Ohio and the southern Great Lakes.

The pattern is expected to bring frequent weather systems through the region, particularly through May and June.
That means early summer will bring plenty of rain and humidity.
'We're looking at normal to slightly above normal rainfall in both June and July,' Sabol said. 'But it's not just about the rain — we're going to see a higher number of humid days compared to what we're used to.'
Tomorrow's forecast details
Despite the moisture, June isn't expected to be especially hot. 'Historically, Northeast Ohio averages around 14 days with temperatures hitting 90 degrees throughout the summer. Number of 90 degree days should be near that 20 year average.'
But residents shouldn't get too comfortable.
We're going to flip the script by mid-July.
The summer will be backloaded with above normal temps/more heat from mid July and August versus the slower start in June. Good chance we will see a few 90 degree days into September. That's only happened ONCE in the last 6 years.
