Old Farmer’s Almanac Summer 2021 Predictions For Cornelius

CORNELIUS, NC — Ready for another prediction on what Mother Nature has in store for Cornelius this summer? You may like this one.

The Old Farmer’s Almanac recently released its forecast for summer 2021, which officially begins June 20. While many are likely looking forward to warm days filled with camping, park visits, bike rides and barbecues, the question remains — will the weather cooperate?

While it’s too early to determine what each day will bring, The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts that Cornelius, as well as the rest of North Carolina, will have a cool and dry summer.

Here's what the Old Farmer's Almanac predicts through the end of June:

• May 11 - 15: Sunny, cool
• May 16-28: Scattered thunderstorms, cool
• May 29-31: Sunny, cool
• June 1-9: Sunny, warm
• June 10-18: Thunderstorms, then sunny, cool
• June 19-24: Scattered thunderstorms, warm
• June 25-30: Rainy periods, cool

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 that was 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.

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, according to its website.

Farmers’ Almanac has also released its summer 2021 predictions. Unlike its rival’s predictions, Farmers' Almanac says North Carolina will have a "sweltering, thundery" summer with above-normal temperatures and a greater-than-average frequency of thunderstorms.
