However, before you bring out the grills and go fishing and swimming, you may want to know what the summer will look like in Michigan.

What Does The Farmer Almanac Say About Other Regions?

The Southeast states and Mid-Atlantic regions will struggle to have fun this summer with lots of soaking showers and steamy days.

As for the North Central region, there will be quite an interesting summer. Farmers' Almanac says that it will be "a seesaw of summer temperatures with an overall warm season, but with occasional cold Canadian air blowing in."

The Southwest will be hit with hot and dry summer conditions, while the Pacific Northwest will be dry but nothing extreme temperature-wise.
