2026 Fall Foliage Peak Forecast Revealed by Interactive Map

The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its annual fall foliage map, providing a detailed forecast for when different regions of the United States will experience peak leaf colors in 2026. According to the map, northern states such as Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and New York will begin to see vibrant fall colors as early as October 1, with higher elevations experiencing changes even earlier by late September. The Midwest, including Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, will reach peak foliage by November 1, while the southernmost regions of the U.S. will have to wait until December 1 to observe any significant changes. The map uses color-coded indicators to show the progression of foliage, from green (no change) to red (peak vibrancy), and eventually brown and grey as the season ends. Rainfall, temperature, and frost may influence the timing and intensity of the colors.

Young Activist Kevin Serrano Campaigns for Progressive Candidates and Financial Transparency in Politics

Young Activist Kevin Serrano Campaigns for Progressive Candidates and Financial Transparency in Politics

Kevin Serrano, a young political activist from Nantucket, dedicated 13 hours to campaigning for progressive candidate Craig Swallow in the recent primary election, despite Swallow ultimately securing only about 20 percent of the vote. Serrano, a 21-year-old computer science student, has become deeply involved in politics, a significant shift from his previous disinterest in state and national political affairs. Beyond local campaigning, Serrano serves as a candidate outreach manager for 'Stocking the Capitol,' an Instagram-based initiative advocating for financial transparency in politics. In this role, he contacts Congressional candidates across the U.S., urging them to pledge against corporate PAC money and stock ownership, and to support overturning the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. His efforts have led several candidates, including Dan Koh in Massachusetts and Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York, to take the pledge.

US Fall Foliage Forecast 2026: Vibrant Colors Expected in New England and New York

US Fall Foliage Forecast 2026: Vibrant Colors Expected in New England and New York

The 2026 fall foliage season in the United States is expected to bring vibrant colors to regions like New England, upstate New York, and parts of California, according to AccuWeather (source: Travel + Leisure Asia). Favorable weather conditions, including a wet late spring and early summer followed by drier conditions and cooler nights, are contributing to the anticipated vivid foliage. The peak viewing period is projected to occur between late September and mid-October, though this may vary by location. However, some areas, such as the Rockies and parts of the East, may experience muted colors due to drought and wildfire stress. The Ohio and Mississippi valleys are also expected to see a delayed peak, occurring a few weeks later than usual.
