How hot and miserable will it be this summer in Indiana? The Old Farmer's Almanac's 2023 Summer Predictions are here!

After all of the frigid cold temperatures and snow that we here in Indiana received over winter, many (like myself) have been eagerly awaiting summertime. I'd rather it be hot than cold, but I know many who are not a fan of the heat that we can get here. Now, summer doesn't officially start until June 21, 2023, which is the summer solstice. That being said, many in the United States kick off summertime on Memorial Day weekend (May 27-29 this year). That's typically when a lot of pools and waterparks open up for the season to help you cool off. So, we have a little bit of time until summer officially kicks off. That being said, what can we expect from the summertime weather here in Indiana this year?
