Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are predicting above-normal temperatures this summer.
Pam Knox, agricultural climatologist with the UGA Extension, says the prediction isn’t unexpected… saying the temperature is rising because the Earth is getting warmer and that we're more likely to see a year that's above average than we are a year that's below average, and so that's consistent.”
She says with current weather patterns dominated by high pressure, thunderstorms won’t develop as much, meaning fewer clouds and more sun.
