Today’s Question of the Day comes from a student at Benjamin Franklin High School — “Will there be a big heat wave this summer?". The answer...yes, it is very likely!
Below is an image from the Climate Prediction Center which shows that the majority of the United States has a high probability of experiencing above normal warmth from May-July. This could be due to an emerging El Niño pattern. Widespread heat waves usually peak in July and August.
Our first official heat wave of the season occurred this week with highs in the 90s for three days in a row. The high temperature record in Baltimore was broken on May 20th with a reading of 96° at the BWI airport!
Today is the day where we finally feel relief from the intense heat! The cold front knocks temperatures down about 30-35 degrees!
