ABC7 Meteorologist Greg Dutra spoke with AccuWeather's lead long-range forecaster, Paul Pastelok, to find out why that's the case.

It looks like a higher baseline is here to stay this year. Last year, there were four more than normal 90-degree days. This summer, there looks to be another four or five more 90-degree days, almost doubling the normal amount.
