JUNE 1 - Today marks the beginning of meteorological summer. Meteorologists measure seasons using three-month periods for easier record keeping, which means Meteorological Summer lasts from June 1 until August 31.

Astronomical summer, or the summer solstice, will happen on Friday, June 20th at 10:42 PM E.T. this year.

So, welcome to summer! The weather outlook from the Climate Prediction Center shows much of the Lower 48 having higher chances of remaining warmer-than-average for June, July, and August.

This does not mean it won't get chilly or cool. Short-term cold weather patterns will still be possible. But when the three months is summed up, it will likely be warmer-than-average.

The outlook for June, July, and August calls for drier-than-average weather for parts of the Rockies, northwest, and the Plains. The East Coast looks likely to be above average for precipitation.
