For the many who worry about the weather in the summer ahead, The Old Farmer's Almanac provides a forecast for people attracted to the beach and the rolling surf and the cool spray at the water's edge.
The prediction from the Old Farmer for the rest of July and into early August calls for cooler and rainier days than normal. The hottest periods will be early July and mid-August.
Welcome to another Island summer.
