Spring 2020 was a wild ride, with late snow and frosts, brutal winds and temperatures that vacillated from 30 to 80 in a 48-hour period. But put all that in your rearview mirror. Summer is on the horizon.

The solstice officially occurs late afternoon Saturday, June 20, with much of the New England region edging towards drought. According to data available from the state Department of Environmental Services, much of New Hampshire is currently rated abnormally dry and on the verge of moderate drought. Less than an inch of rain has fallen in most of the Mount Washington Valley in the past month.
