WGME-TV13 • July 4, 2023
We are now in the second month of summer and can only count the number of days with no rain on two hands. Now that we are in July, one would expect to see some dry and warm days. Instead, we are seeing the opposite, more rain. This is due to the constant upper-level low-pressure systems in the atmosphere above us. It is an unforeseeable cause-and-effect pattern. The low pressure causes the air to be cooler leading to cold air aloft. The cold air aloft weakens the atmosphere. When the atmosphere is destabilized, any little change can affect the weather. There are signs of dry and summer weather ahead.
