Old Farmer's Almanac Sees Cooler Coasts, Warmer Interior in 2026 Fall Forecast
1 articles · Updated · The Pioneer Woman · Aug 21
Summary
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says this fall should bring below-average temperatures along the East and West Coasts, while the Midwest and mountain regions run warmer than normal.
The forecast also calls for extra rainfall in parts of the West and New England, a pattern that could delay peak leaf color by keeping trees greener longer.
Oklahoma stands out from nearby states with a cooler, wetter-than-average outlook even as much of the surrounding region is expected to be warmer.
The Almanac says its long-range outlook is about 80% accurate, but it covers 18 broad climate regions, making local forecasts more useful for city-level planning.
