I check this website everyday! Love it! So what does this mean for summer? I actually wish we had cold and snow. I keep getting sick from the wonky up and down temperatures. And I like to walk in knee deep snow to exercise..though I don’t like driving in it. I’m sad by the snow-less winter here in southern ontario. I’m getting married on a farm in August. I sure hope it’s not raining and cool!

sarah,
We’re calling for a pretty active tornado season, though probably not as bad as last year. You can see our full forecast for the next four months here: http://www.farmersalmanac.com/long-range-weather-forecast/

Caleb,

What is the Tornado season looking like for Virginia? Shenandoah Valley in particular?

I really appreciate the rain we have received here in the foothills of Rutherford, NC, and even though some snow is ok, I personally am fine with out it, but would liked to have had some much colder days than we have had because if we do have colder days I believe we will have a bad flea and tic season, so bring on some winter.

No one mentioned the wind -I didn’t read all the comments. I hated northern Okla when I had to live there 4 yrs. (husbands home state). because of the dirty (grit filled) wind. Now I am in Ind where the weather has all 4 seasons and I like that except I am now on 6 acres with much farm land surrounding me and much wind -all yr. long! 40degree takes me out to hit golf balls for my dog to chase but the wind makes it more like 30 or less. As I get older I hate the snow -guess that’s why so many older people go south to live.

I live in Philadelphia,Pa. and these unseasonably warm temperatures are upsetting to many of us in the east because we are so used to snow and wind chill temperatures. many of us like to take our children sledding in the snow along with the typical snow ball fights and creating snow angels. children even complain about not having any snow days in school so far this year. I’m a cold weather person myself I don’t like really like the spring and I hate the summer time. But I guess we have to deal with the weather no matter if we like it or not because there’s not much anybody can really do about it except complain because life most certainly goes on !!!!

yoverizon,
The answer to your question would vary, depending on your location. You can see a portion of our long-range forecast here: http://www.farmersalmanac.com/long-range-weather-forecast/

The third and fourth week of June aren’t up yet – we offer four months at a time, from today’s date – but they will be available by the end of February.

I myself & others believe this VERY mild Winter is due to the Gulf Stream’s erratic behavior which in turn affects the North Atlantic Oscillation. Most know the Gulf Stream is the engine to many day to day weather pattern’s, it’s the outer circulatory system of our Earth. Why has it changed and became erratic? All due to the BP Gulf of Mexico Oil blow out of 2010, oil, tar and corexit. A little research will show the Gulf Stream was wounded severely.
