Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts Contrasting Fall Weather Across the U.S.
US · Published Aug 20, 2026
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its fall 2026 forecast, predicting a season of contrasting weather patterns across the United States.
Warmer-than-average conditions are expected to persist in a broad area stretching from the Northern Plains through the Heartland and into the Deep South during September and October.

Impact & Risks

The forecast suggests that areas experiencing warmer-than-average conditions may see extended summer-like weather, potentially delaying the onset of fall activities like leaf peeping. Conversely, cooler regions, particularly in the East and West Coast, may experience an earlier transition to autumn, which could impact agriculture and tourism. Wetter-than-average conditions in specific areas, such as northern Texas and the Pacific Northwest, could lead to localized flooding risks, while drier regions may face heightened fire risks.
