2010 Summer Weather Prediction


Summer is just about here! For those wondering about the weather, if it'd be worth contacting Charlotte pool builders Aloha Pools, here's what the experts are predicting...

"Charlotte, N.C. - Summer is nearly two months away, but we're already putting together a forecast for what the overall weather will be like.

A barbecue summer with hotter than average days is a strong possibility. Even so drought conditions should stay away. As meteorologists how can we tell?

Much of our summer weather is dependent on the Bermuda High, a semi-permanent area of high pressure off the Atlantic coast. If the Bermuda High is further out in the Atlantic, hurricanes typically stay away and we experience normal summer weather. A larger, closer Bermuda High brings more opportunities for hurricane landfall and generally stronger storms as gulf moisture pools in.

Last summer's hurricane season was mild thanks to a strengthening El Nino which created wind shear that cut off storm development.

This year with El Nino weakening and warmer sea surface temperatures, a busier than average hurricane season is expected which could bring more rain to the Carolinas.

Long range models though, show it should be a pretty typical summer.

There is a fairly good chance of above normal temperatures especially if that Bermuda High pumps a lot of hot, moist air into the Carolinas.

So here's what we expect:
- No development of drought conditions, thanks to a near average amount of rain and slightly
- Warmer than average temperatures.

The hurricane threat will be up from last year, with a stronger chance of landfall from the outer banks to the northeast than we've seen in many years."
