Summer 2020 U.S. Temperature Outlook: Warmer-Than-Average Conditions Expected for Most of Lower 48

A hotter-than-average summer is anticipated across most of the contiguous United States, according to the latest outlook issued by The Weather Company, an IBM Business.

The Northeast and mid-Atlantic can generally expect above-average temperatures from June through August. Above-average temperatures will also extend from Central Texas into the Pacific Northwest. Temperatures will be much above average from eastern Washington and eastern Oregon into Idaho, western Montana, western Wyoming, northern Utah and northeastern Nevada this summer.

Areas from the Gulf Coast into the Midwest and upper Mississippi Valley, as well as in Southern California, southern Nevada and southwestern Arizona, may have temperatures near average or slightly warmer during the summer months.
