Across the nation, Mother Nature will bring the heat to a significant portion of the United States, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac forecast.

Temperatures are predicted to be hotter than normal in areas including the Atlantic Corridor, the eastern Great Lakes region, and the Upper Midwest, south to parts of the Intermountain region. Parts of the Pacific Northwest, coastal California, and Alaska may also see warmer temperatures.

Rainfall is also expected to be greater than normal in Northeast states, the eastern Great Lakes region, and much of the West Coast. The Rocky Mountain region can also expect a wet summer.

The Almanac’s weather forecast methodology comes from a secret formula created by its founder, Robert Thomas, in 1792. The exact prediction process remains a secret, but the periodical discloses that it uses solar science, climatology, and meteorology to make its forecasts.

According to its website, the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which is not to be confused with its rival forecast predictor, Farmers’ Almanac, is North America’s oldest continuously published periodical.

Farmers’ Almanac has also released its summer 2021 predictions. Like its rival’s predictions, Farmers’ Almanac feels that it's going to be a hot one this summer in New Jersey.
