Spring has since sprung, and is one foot out the door. After a couple of 90° days, we are starting to feel that summer heat and getting our daily dose of sunshine.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released its newest seasonal climate outlook — here’s what the next three months may look like in the Alamo City.

Probability for a warmer, drier summer

The NOAA forecasts SATX will likely have hotter-than-average temperatures this June, July, and August. During that time frame, researchers also predict equal chances of precipitation.
