Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts Varied Fall Weather Across the U.S. in 2026
The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its long-range fall forecast for 2026, predicting a season of contrasting weather patterns across the United States. Cooler-than-average temperatures are expected in the eastern U.S. and along the Pacific Coast, creating a classic autumn feel. However, much of the nation's interior, including the Northern Plains, Heartland, and Deep South, may experience extended summer-like warmth into September and October. Rainfall is forecast to be below average for most regions, with exceptions such as the West Coast, central and northern Rockies, parts of Texas, southern Florida, and portions of the Northeast, which are expected to see wetter conditions. The forecast, based on solar science, climatology, and meteorology, boasts an 80% accuracy rate, though meteorologists caution that long-range predictions can change significantly.
