Extreme Heat Across the US

Increased Use of Air Conditioning

Energy bills in the United States may see a significant increase this summer due to the onset of an unusually hot season, according to forecasts from AccuWeather.

The meteorological summer, which begins on June 1 and lasts through the end of August, is expected to be warmer than normal across much of the country.

Temperatures are predicted to remain above historical averages throughout all three summer months.

Long-range forecasts, led by senior meteorologist Paul Pastelok, suggest that the most intense heat will focus on the northern Rocky Mountains and the Plains.

These regions could break multiple temperature records.

On April 10, Phoenix recorded its first 100-degree day in seven years, offering just a preview of what’s to come.

According to meteorologists, temperatures across the country will continue to rise as summer progresses.

Millions of US households will face higher energy bills due to increased use of cooling systems, such as air conditioning and fans.

In particular, extreme heat will lead to a surge in energy demand, which will result in higher costs for many families.

In the Northeast and the Appalachians, the season will be more variable, with hot days followed by thunderstorms and rain.

Humidity will also play a key role in how the heat is felt, as high temperatures can feel even more intense with rising moisture levels.

In cities like New York, temperatures during the 2025 hot season are expected to reach the 90s on 12 to 16 days, while Philadelphia could experience between 25 and 30 such days.

In Atlanta, temperatures above 90 degrees are forecast for 45 to 50 days, and in Orlando, between 18 and 24 days.

This summer, Americans will have to deal not only with extreme heat but also with the added cost of staying cool during what may be one of the hottest seasons in decades.
