Australia family and friends just had their first day of winter June 1st, today is June 2nd The Australian government bureau of meteorology has severe weather for them.  High of 59F(16C) with 95% chance of rain, and wind gusts up to 11mph.  Stay warm, stay safe, stay dry.
 
As the U.S. map and regional chart reflect, much of the United States is trending hotter than normal, especially across the southern part and eastern portion of the country. However, some areas—including the Upper Midwest and Heartland—are expected to be cooler than normal or to feature more mixed patterns.
Rainfall predictions are less uniform but lean drier overall. Many regions, particularly across the East, High Plains, and interior West, are expected to see below-normal precipitation. In contrast, wetter conditions are forecast in the Heartland, along the Gulf Coast, and in portions of the Pacific Northwest, with several regions showing a mix of wet and dry patterns.
Overall, the forecast points to a summer defined by widespread warmth, with regional contrasts in both temperature and rainfall shaping local conditions.
With above-average temperatures expected across much of the country, plan for periods of extended heat, especially during peak summer months.
How Summer 2026 Weather Will Change
While some regions may begin summer closer to typical early-season conditions, above-normal heat is expected to build as the season progresses. In other words, temperatures are likely to run hotter than average for much of the summer.
The biggest temperature departures are most likely in July and August, when unusually warm conditions become more widespread across North America.
