Hot Weather is Nowhere in Sight for Berkshire County

Summer is finally here, and summer in the Berkshires is always a fun time of the year. Summer and Berkshire County go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Some summer activities people enjoy in the Berkshires include hiking, swimming, golfing, attending outdoor concerts, enjoying street fairs, and car shows, and much more. I can't tell you how many summers I've spent in the Berkshires looking at the beauty of waterfalls, and I even swam in a few of them.

Not only do these traditional summer activities take place in Berkshire County, but some folks near and far make it a point to get married in the Berkshires during the summer months, and it's not hard to understand why.

The Berkshires have a certain magic. Having beautiful lakes, fields, and breathtaking mountains as a backdrop for your wedding is a no-brainer for many folks. Whether it's a backyard or a historic wedding venue, there really isn't a bad place to get married in Berkshire County. No matter where you get married in the county, your photos will capture some of that Berkshire magic I'm talking about.

But one thing that seems a little surprising is that even though it's officially summer. The weather will remain on the cooler side in Berkshire County, at least for the near future.

The National Weather Service is showing that the highest temperature for the next 15 days (now through July 6) will be 84. That's only for the date of July 2. The rest of the days will only be mid to upper 70s, hovering around 80 on a couple of those days.

Personally, I don't mind the cooler weather even in the summertime, but I know some look forward to the warmer weather. Will we get some traditional temperatures this summer? Perhaps, but it won't be anytime in the near future.
