NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Although summer is still a while away, the tri-state region has already experienced several days with summer-like heat.
For those who are already mentally preparing to leave the spring rain and chilly days behind, the Farmer's Almanac has released its predictions for this summer.
Summer is expected to start with unsettled and stormy weather for much of the country, as reported by the Farmer's Almanac.
Temperatures are predicted to be hotter than normal across most of the United States, leading to what is anticipated to be an "intense" summer. According to the Farmer's Almanac map, New York and the northeastern region will experience predominantly hot and dry conditions throughout the summer.
Most of the country will see near to slightly below normal precipitation.
The Farmer's Almanac encourages homeowners to ensure their air conditioning is in top shape and to find ways to stay cool.
