New Yorkers who have been praying for relief from this year’s brutal winter will soon be getting exactly what they wished for — in the form of an oppressive summer of stifling heat and humidity.

The 2014 edition of the Farmer’s Almanac predicts the New York area will be socked by a wet, hot summer that’s set to dump a higher-than-average amount of rain across the five boroughs.

“It looks like it’s going to be an oppressively hot and humid summer for the New York area,” said Sandi Duncan, the almanac’s managing editor.

“It’s going to be very humid and thundery,” she added.

Things will start heating up in mid-June, just as heavy rainfalls begin to move into the area, soaking city dwellers.

The heat and heavy rainfall will endure through the month of July and some of August before things begin to cool off and dry out.

One bright spot is that the almanac is predicting clear skies for Fourth of July fireworks, Duncan says.

But the rain doesn’t end there.

Duncan said a severe hurricane will likely threaten the East Coast sometime between Sept. 16 and 19, and take a course similar to that of Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

“We can’t say right now how strong of a storm it will be, but it will likely affect much of the mid-Atlantic, including New York and New Jersey,” Duncan said.

The Farmer’s Almanac has a pretty stellar track record of nailing forecasts, even months out.

The publication all but predicted this year’s brutal winter, which dropped approximately 60 inches of snow on the city.

But before things really start heating up, there’s yet another blast of frigid air coming this week.

“Winter doesn’t want to give up just yet,” said AccuWeather meteorologist Henry Margusity, who predicts nighttime temperatures could get down into the mid-30s this week as a cold front works its way into our area.

“The cold front will likely start coming eastward [Tuesday],” he said. “It’s going to get a little chilly out there.”

Once that cold spell has snapped, warmer temps will be here to stay — and so will the rain and humidity, according to the almanac.

Based in Maine, the Farmer’s Almanac has been predicting weather since 1818 using mathematical and astrological formulas that include sunspot activity, lunar cycles and planetary alignment.

It claims to be correct 80 percent of the time.
