Farmers’ Almanac Has An Interesting Summer Forecast For Montana

How This Year’s Forecast Could Affect Your Plans

While we are barely one month into spring, that doesn't mean we can't look ahead towards summer in Montana.

Thankfully the Farmers' Almanac has already come out with their summer forecast, and it looks "above average."

Will the Heat Break Records or Just Thermometers?

Summer won't officially start until June 20th, 2025, and in reality we here in Montana don't usually see those triple-digit temps until late July or early August.

This year, however, could be a different story as the Farmers' Almanac is predicting above-average temperatures for our neck of the woods.

In fact, the name they are giving the summer forecast this year is "The Heat Is On," as they predict more long-term high-temperature records will be broken this summer.

“The Heat Is On” – And So Are Our AC Bills

As for here in Montana, they say that for most of the summer we'll see scorching temperatures along with average rainfall.

Hearing we'll be seeing average rainfall gives me hope we won't have such a bad fire season here in Montana.

Going forward, they say when it comes to the Fourth of July, to expect severe thunderstorms, which could put a damper on the celebration.

As for Labor Day, they say we'll see fair weather.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much stock we can put into a forecast that is trying to predict anything even more than 3 days out, let alone 3 months, but hopefully they are right about the rain.
