Here’s Your April To June Outlook As spring begins, weather forecasts predict above-average temperatures across the Southwest, Rockies, and Plains through June, according to The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2. In contrast, New England is expected to remain near or slightly below average for April, June, and July. Cooler conditions may also affect the East and Great Lakes regions during this period. The polar vortex is anticipated to stay weaker in April following a sudden stratospheric warming event in March. This phenomenon is likely to allow cool air to persist in the Eastern U.S., while keeping the Western regions warmer. Current forecasts suggest a higher probability of cooler temperatures in April, particularly near Canada and in the Northeast, compared to a warmer scenario. El Niño, a climate pattern characterized by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific, could influence weather later in the summer. However, signals for El Niño are still uncertain by June. Historically, if El Niño develops, the Plains region tends to experience warmer temperatures during the summer months. The connection between El Niño and summer weather is less pronounced than during cooler seasons. The forecast highlights the variability in regional climate patterns during the spring and early summer, with distinct temperature trends shaping different parts of the country. Meteorologists emphasize the importance of monitoring these shifts, as they can impact everything from daily activities to long-term planning.#el_nio #the_weather_company #atmospheric_g2 #polar_vortex #central_tropical_pacific
