Hotter Than Normal Summer Predicted for Michigan

Forecasters believe that the summer of 2025 will likely be hotter than usual in Michigan.

Michigan's Temperature Forecast: What to Expect

According to the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center, all of the contiguous United States should expect hotter than normal temperatures during June, July and August. There's greater confidence this will be the case in much of the western U.S., the Northeast, and the Florida peninsula, but reasonable certainty Michigan will be warmer too.

How Hot Could It Get? AccuWeather Weighs In

AccuWeather meteorologists tend to agree. They point out that, on average, Detroit sees 13 days a year that the temperature rises to 90 degrees or higher. It happened 14 times in 2024, and AccuWeather projects Detroit will see high temps eclipse 90 degrees between 12 and 18 times in 2025.

What About Rain? Here's the Precipitation Outlook

What about precipitation? Michigan seems to be on track for a fairly normal year in that regard. The Climate Prediction Center's Seasonal Precipitation Outlook for June, July and August says there are equal chances for a drier or wetter than average summer - meaning things are likely to be about what we'd expect this time of year.

Regional Weather Variations Across the State

AccuWeather thinks parts of Michigan - including the tip of The Thumb and places like Bay City, Alpena, Mackinac Island and Traverse City - could be slightly wetter than normal this summer. The rest of the state is likely to be close to normal for precipitation.
