Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts Contrasting Fall Weather for 2026
US · Published Aug 8, 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 temperatures are expected to persist from the Northern Plains through the Heartland and into the Deep South during September and October.

Impact & Risks

The forecast suggests a mixed bag of weather conditions, with potential impacts on agriculture, travel, and outdoor activities. Warmer-than-average temperatures in the interior U.S. could extend summer-like conditions, while cooler and wetter weather in the East and West Coast may lead to earlier fall foliage and increased rainfall. Northern Florida and southern Texas may experience drier conditions, which could exacerbate drought concerns. In Hawaii, cooler temperatures and increased rainfall in the eastern regions could lead to localized flooding, especially with the potential for a tropical storm in mid-September. Northern Alaska may see early snowfall, impacting transportation and local communities.
