In case you didn’t notice the summer heat this morning on your way to work, the season has officially started.The time has come to pull out your bathing suits and flip-flops because temperatures are going to continue to rise over the week and into the weekend.“In general the weather over the next week looks like high temperatures will climb into the 90-degree mark and the chances for precipitation, all in all, are going to be rather small,” said Brian Lynn, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Peachtree City.A weak front will move into the area and bring a slight chance of thunderstorms from Friday until Sunday.“That might be the best bet for precipitation, but that is still kind of on the low end,” Lynn said.He said it’s normal for temperatures to reach into the high 80s and low 90s this time of year. The temperature in Gainesville reached 87 degrees Wednesday.To take a break from the heat and to celebrate the first day of summer, families spent Wednesday jumping and splashing through fountains at Laurel Park’s sprayground.“It is sweltering, and it’s only going to get worse,” said Candi Flynn of Clermont as she watched the children play. Flynn said her sons, Nathan, 5, and Carson, 4, were begging to go to the park to beat the heat.“Hot days are a good day to come,” Flynn said.
