For U.S readers, summer began on Memorial Day, June 1st (meteorological summer start) or will begin June 21st (summer solstice). The recent weather in Virginia has certainly felt like summer to me, although Monday is forecast to be cooler and less humid.

The Washington, DC based Capital Weather Gang recently released their summer outlook:

Temperatures:

June: 1 to 2 degrees above average
July: 1 degree above average
August: 1 degree above average

Overall: 1 to 2 degrees above average

Precipitation:

Below normal. Perhaps, well below.
