After a nearly record-breaking dry May, the state's climatologist is predicting more rain and consistent high temperatures going into the rest of the summer.
In the spring, Michiganders typically see a good amount of rain, particularly in May. But this year has been different with the state receiving significantly less precipitation than usual.
That’s according to state climatologist Jeff Andresen.
“So it's something that doesn't happen very often when we get less than an inch during the whole month. And also now in terms of impact, we see our lawns and so forth now starting to turn, turn brown. And that also that usually very rarely happens in in Michigan, but it is this year.” said Andresen.
He says temperatures will continue to climb into early June but with the current drought-like conditions subsiding.
