For August, some parts of the state - the Western New York and the Northern New York regions- are predicted to be "hot and rainy." The bulk of the state is looking at "hot and dry" temperatures for the rest of this summer. The Old Farmer's Almanac says, "August will bring above-normal temperatures across most regions, with only a few exceptions. Given recent trends, we wouldn’t be surprised to see record-breaking heat."

Personally, I prefer the Spring and Fall since we get milder weather. Summer is just a bit too hot for me, and Winter is brutal. Fall brings falling leaves, shorter days, and of course, pumpkin spice everything. But what can we expect from the weather this fall here in New York?
