Meteorological summer is just around the corner, which may surprise some in Utah after the seemingly never-ending winter the state experienced this year.
SALT LAKE CITY —
. The agency says Utah is likely in for another hot summer, but it's still too early to know if it will be wetter or drier than normal over the months of June, July and August.Utah is off to an abnormally cold start to the year mostly because of all the storms it has received so far this year. It ended April with an average temperature of 32.2 degrees Fahrenheit, which was 2.
The Climate Prediction Center's long-range outlook indicates it's more probable than not that this trend will continue throughout the meteorological summer months. It lists Utah as having about a 50% to 70% probability of above-normal temperatures over the span of June, July and August, with southeast Utah having the strongest odds for summertime heat.
Yet the center lists southeast Utah as having between a 34% and 40% probability of receiving below-normal precipitation while the rest of the state is listed in "equal chances" over the full three-month span of summer. This essentially means that there's an equal probability of above-normal, below-normal and near-normal precipitation for most parts of the state.
