Fall 2026 Weather Outlook: Warm Interior, Cooler Coasts, and Drier Conditions
US · Published Jul 29, 2026
The Old Farmer’s Almanac has released its Fall 2026 weather outlook, highlighting a distinct national split in conditions across the United States.
The forecast predicts warmer-than-average temperatures for the interior regions, including the Heartland, High Plains, Deep South, and Texas, with summerlike warmth lingering into October.

Impact & Risks

The forecast suggests minimal immediate risks for most regions, with warmer and drier conditions dominating. However, wetter-than-average weather in areas like Texas, Oklahoma, the Pacific Northwest, and Northeast could lead to localized flooding or drainage issues. Homeowners in these regions should prepare for heavier rainfall. Additionally, the strong El Niño predicted for winter may bring more intense storms and colder conditions, particularly in the interior southwest and southern states. This fall serves as a critical preparation period for homeowners to mitigate potential winter hazards.
