Farmers Almanac Predicts A Wet & Cool September Across Oklahoma

Every year, September seems about the same. It's usually really hot and exceptionally dry. It's also the most miserable month in Oklahoma since that's when ragweed starts pollinating across the US.

That's not to say we haven't had decent Septembers on record, but by and large it's traditionally a miserable month in Southwest Oklahoma, but Farmers Almanac is being very bold in the prediction this year will be different.

Now, I know we've had cool Septembers in recent years, and I realize we've had a wet one for the record books too, but what are the odds of the worst-case scenario happening again? The current prediction is thunderstorms every week. That's an insane thing to think.
