In case you didn’t know, 2020 tied the record for the hottest year ever recorded in the history of the planet, the other was 2016. Further, 2020 also was part of the warmest 10-year block on record. Even more, the last six years have been the warmest since weather record-keeping began.
Now, meteorologists from the Weather Channel have offered us an early preview of what summer 2021, June to August, is going to look like. If this forecast is correct, then all indications show we are in for a scorcher in the United States this summer.
According to the forecast, roughly three-quarters of the US will see above-average temperatures. Somewhere between approximately one-quarter to one-third of the nation will see above-average temperatures. The remainder of the nation will see normal temperatures.
