The NOAA/Climate Prediction Center outlook for seasonal average temperature for June-August 2015 issued in the third week of May. Red areas indicate places with an increased chance for above-normal temperature, while blue areas show an increased chance for below normal temperature. “Normal” is defined by the temperature that was observed in middle one-third of the cases during the 30-year period of 1981-2010. The numbers show the probability for above-normal (if red) or below normal (if blue) temperature. White areas indicate no forecast direction, and an equal (33.3%) probability for any of the three possibilities (below normal, near normal or above normal). Maps by Hunter Allen, based on CPC data.
