What's the Delaware summer 2024 forecast from Farmers' Almanac?

Farmers' Almanac's forecast for the New England region, which includes Delaware, sounds like a romance novel gone awry – sultry and soggy. High temps and rain will be the rule for the region.

If you disagree with Farmers' Almanac and put Delaware in the Southeast because of its proximity to Virginia, the forecast is a little better – as is the romance novel title – steamy and thundery.

What is the summer 2024 forecast for the rest of the country?

The Northwest region of the nation is expected to have seasonable temperatures and dry weather. The Great Lakes and Midwest will be warm and stormy. The Western states will be hot and dry and the Southwest region will be hot and showery.

If Farmers' Almanac is correct, it looks like Seattle and Portland will be top destinations this summer for the best weather.
