According to the Farmers Almanac prognosticators:

What’s summer without heat? It’s coming! Summer temperatures are predicted above-normal for about two-thirds of the country, especially in the South and East. While typically the hottest weather can be expected in late July or early August, this year’s summer heat could peak in late August, into early September. So be sure to plan ahead and get your air conditioners, box fans, and cool summer clothing ready!

The National Weather Service and NOAA are also chiming in on what to expect for the upcoming summer according to the latest forecast models. The outlook for May, June, and July has Minnesotans expecting above normal temperatures, and precipitation right around normal.

What it means is that NOAA and the Farmer's Almanac are pretty close in their expectations for the summer ahead. Both are calling for water than average temps, with near normal precipitation, although the Farmer's Almanac leans towards a stormier period.
