A La Niña is developing, and that means intense heat is coming to the lower 48 states. The Northeast and the Midwest will be especially affected.
Let’s dive in and find out what this means for summer 2020!
According to Weather, most of the nation is going to feel a little hotter than usual this July.
“The differences between this summer and last summer are driven by a reversal of the atmospheric forcing in the tropical Pacific. Strong atmospheric suppression (or sinking air) in the eastern tropical Pacific, associated with the developing La Niña event, is resulting in much warmer and drier conditions across the Midwest this year relative to last,” says Todd Crawford, who is the Weather Company’s Chief Meteorologist.
Last summer was actually a little bit cooler than usual. This summer, folks are definitely going to want to get creative in order to stay cool during ongoing lockdowns. You might want to order a Slip n Slide sooner rather than later!
