It gets hot in Georgia in June

Summer is off to a, well, hot start in metro Atlanta, and that is likely to continue through the Fourth of July holiday next week.

Monday’s high is expected to hit 92, several degrees above the average for the date, according to Channel 2 Action News.

This comes after a Sunday in which heat indexes in metro Atlanta and North Georgia ranged to near 100 degrees in some areas.

The pattern should continue, Channel 2 meteorologist Brian Monahan said. Forecasts for the next four days call for highs in the 90s, though the average high for these dates is 88.

“It’ll feel like 100 the next couple of days with the humidity,” he said.

Expect the same all the way through Independence Day.

“The temperature pattern all across the Southeast is for above average temperatures,” Monahan said.

Monday also has a 40 percent chance of rain, which could mean some pop-up showers for commuters.
