The Old Farmer's Almanac Summer Forecast 2023
What weather’s in store this summer? If you’re hoping for a lot of pool or beach time, you may be happy about this forecast. Here are The Old Farmer’s Almanac weather predictions for the summer of 2023—including our summer weather maps for the U.S. and Canada.
Summer Forecast 2023 (U.S.)
Summer temperatures, on average, will be near to above normal through most of North America, but expect cooler than normal temperatures out West across the Rockies and Great Basin and also along the central and southern California coast.
In terms of rainfall, much of the country has average to above-normal rainfall, especially on the eastern half of the U.S., and normal to below-normal rainfall in many of the western states, which will dry out after a wet, cool winter.

- Specifically, rainfall will be normal to below-normal from Texas up through Montana, and Missouri west to Nevada.
- But rainfall will be above normal elsewhere—from the Deep South up through the Ohio Valley and the Upper Midwest, as well as from the mid-Atlantic coast up to New England.
Most of Alaska and Hawaii will experience average to above-average temperatures and rain.

Summer Forecast 2023 (Canada)
Temperatures in Canada will be warmer than normal across much of the country, with the exception of cooler-than-normal conditions in the Northwest Territories.
Precipitation will be below normal from Atlantic Canada through southern Quebec and portions of southern Ontario and across the central and eastern Prairies and near to above normal elsewhere.
The 2023 Hurricane Season
The Atlantic hurricane season officially begins on June 1. In 2022, an oddly quiet period in July and August meant a more normal hurricane season. We expect 2023 to feature near- or slightly below-average activity, with a neutral to weak El Niño replacing the current La Niña.
The best chances for TROPICAL STORMS striking land will be in Texas in late July and then again in mid- to late August, when the Deep South will also be threatened. Up north, Atlantic Canada should be on the lookout for a tropical storm or hurricane hit in late August. See the full 2023 Hurricane Forecast.

Month of June rained but two days in NH. July is already showing rain for another ten days. It’s been cold and raining. Tell them to stop messing with the weather. I don’t care if you want to block the sun we want it
I posted in my Facebook gardener's group about all this rain and lack of sunshine in Western New York. My fellow gardeners are loving all this rain. To me, it's too much. It feels like late April- early May temperature and weather condition wise. I'm ready for blue skies, warmth, and sunshine.
We are from New Hampshire, too. We are ready for the sunshine!
Hear hear! I agree! Sick sick SICK of this rain! My garden is being devoured by slugs! I don't think we've gone 48 hours with our some kind of rain! UGH!

Warmer than normal? You guys are way off. Barely hitting 70 in nyc, and no temps forecast over 84 for the next 2 weeks. Hardly any temps over 77. This isn't summer. This is a ripoff. Summer is 85 and up, every day. Not 65 and raining for days at a time.
These old "hippies" at Farmer's Almanac have "lost it" so pay no attention to their drug induced predictions.
Wow! Were you ever so wrong in Canada's forecast this summer!!! like very wrong! Atlantic Canada was not "cool" it was HOT, not just hot but also VERY DRY! hardly any rain! especially in Nova Scotia.
BC was Very dry and hot in June & July. was also hot and dry in the prairies last 2 months.
So is summer still on it's way or??????? I'm in Alberta (and a week into July) and so far we've had 4-5 decent days since the snow melted, half of which were accompanied by 40kmph winds. Other than that we have had rain EVERY day. It's grey skies right now with rain coming at 4pm. The forecast says rain for the next 4 days. That will officially be 4 straight weeks of rain without stopping. This is just stupid.
