NOAA/CPC Long-lead Climate Forecast JUL/AUG/SEP 2025: Dry/Hot West; Wet East!

Earlier this week, Climate Impact Company updated the month 1-4 ahead outlook. Indicated was a wetter trend in the East/Southeast and drier/hotter trend in the West. Today's NOAA/CPC matches that sentiment. The East/Southeast should be prepared for flooding rains and increased risk of coastal tropical cyclone risk while the Northwest/West U.S. is hot and dry and headed for a hostile fire season later this summer.

Incoming Heat Surge for High Demand PJM Sector

Incoming excessive heat event for PJM misses ERCOT. In the PJM-East sector the primary peak is June 23-25. During this time, forecast models agree on near the 100F risk for the DCA/BWI/PHL stretch and NYC/BDL/BOS will be close. Making this heatwave unique is the extreme humidity and therefore heat index. Heat indices routinely flirt with 110F in this type of heat.
