Old Farmer’s Almanac fall forecast; what it says for Pennsylvania
As the country is still sweltering from above-average temps this summer, Pennsylvania will be sliding into a cool fall, according the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac released its annual fall forecast, predicting below-average temperatures for Pennsylvanians, while the majority of the country to the west, is forecast to see above-average temps.
Precipitation, on the other hand is forecast to be higher for Pennsylvania, as opposed to lower precipitation for the rest of the country.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac has been making annual, long-term weather predictions since 1792 by comparing solar activity with weather patterns, claiming 80% accuracy. A University of Illinois study found it was only about 52% accurate.
What is the average fall temperature for Pennsylvania?
These are the average fall season temperatures, according to the National Weather Service:
- September sees an average of 67.9-degrees
- October sees an average of 55.8-degrees
- November sees an average of 44.8-degrees
- December sees an average of 35.8-degrees
What about rainfall?
While most of the country is predicted to see less precipitation, Pennsylvania and a swath of the Ohio Valley are forecast to get higher than average rainfall or snow in the fall.
What does this mean for the fall foliage?
This year’s prediction for fall peak color, comes a little earlier by October 11.
Leaves start changing colors in September, lasting through early November with peak season falling around the second to third week of October, depending on where you live and the weather conditions.

Quakertown police chief on leave after clash with student protesters
From Delco to Chesco and Montco to Bucks, what about life in Philly’s suburbs do you want WHYY News to cover? Let us know!
Quakertown Police Chief Scott McElree is on leave after he was seen on video placing a student in a chokehold during a high school walkout earlier this month.
Borough Solicitor Peter Nelson told 6abc and other outlets Friday that McElree, who also serves as the borough manager, is currently on workers’ compensation leave. A request for comment from Nelson was not immediately returned Saturday.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office is currently investigating the police department’s response to a student-led protest against the Trump administration federal enforcement actions on Feb. 20.
After more than 30 students walked out of Bucks County’s Quakertown Community High School, a violent confrontation with Quakertown officers saw at least five students arrested. The students have since been charged with aggravated assault, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Police claim that students threw snowballs at the responding officers on the scene and kicked their cars.
