Make sure you’re ready for record heat this summer

Get ready for a hot one. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center has let us all know this summer is likely to be hotter than average in almost every part of the U.S. Its summer forecast, which covers June, July and August, indicates that temperatures will soar especially high in the west, where Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado have a 60% to 70% chance of seeing higher-than-average temperatures over the next three months. But almost nowhere is safe — the only places not forecast to see potentially record-breaking heat are the Dakotas and some slivers of Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska.

Before these temperatures arrive, get ready by heading to Walmart for an air conditioner, which can help you ride out record-breaking heat in comfort. Walmart currently has all kinds of units on sale, from window-mounted air conditioners that cool a room to portable, freestanding AC units that can help keep your whole house at a comfortable temperature.

Now for the bad news: As the word spreads about this summer’s forecast (and as temperatures start to heat up) it’s going to get harder and harder to find an air conditioner — especially at a good price. So this may be your best chance to take advantage of some discounts and save on an AC unit that can make a hot summer more bearable. Scroll down to the list below to check out some of the air conditioners Walmart has on sale right now and get one for your home.
