This summer will be miserable, Farmer's Almanac says

New Yorkers who have been praying for relief from this year’s brutal winter will soon be getting exactly what they wished for — in the form of an oppressive summer of stifling heat and humidity. The 2014 edition of the Farmer’s Almanac predicts the New York area will be socked by a wet, hot summer that’s set to dump a higher-than-average amount of rain across the five boroughs.

“It looks like it’s going to be an oppressively hot and humid summer for the New York area,” said Sandi Duncan, the almanac’s managing editor. “It’s going to be very humid and thundery,” she added. Things will start heating up in mid-June, just as heavy rainfalls begin to move into the area, soaking city dwellers. The heat and heavy rainfall will endure through the month of July and some of August before things begin to cool off and dry out.
