Fall Forecast 2024 Summary
Your trek to the pumpkin patch may be a bit steamy this year. It looks as if The Old Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a warmer-than-normal autumn this year! In fact, it should be quite warm for the western half of the United States!
The regions listed below will be warmer-than-average for this time of year:
- The Heartland (10)
- Pacific Northwest (15) and Intermountain (13)
- Texas-Oklahoma (11) and High Plains (12)
- Pacific Southwest (16) and Desert Southwest (14)
- Alaska (17)
- Hawaii (18)
The regions listed below will be cooler-than-average for this time of year:
- Southeast (4), and Florida (5)
- The Lower Lakes (6), Ohio Valley (7),
- Appalachians (3)Atlantic Corridor (2)
The Northeast (1), the Deep South (region 8), and the Upper Midwest (9) will have average temperatures for this time of year compared to historical temperatures.
Our autumn-hued weather map provides the seasonal temperature outlook:
What about rainfall? For much of the central U.S., as well as Florida (in yellow on the map below), we should be prepared for below-average rainfall. .
The average temperatures and below-average rainfalls could translate to some pretty foliage in the Northeastern region. See our Fall Foliage Map here.
Hurricane season officially runs through November. We expect above-normal activity and the 2024 hurricane count to exceed last year’s. See more hurricane predictions.
Fall Forecast for Canada
In Canada, autumn temperatures will be warmer than normal from the Atlantic Coast (region 1) westward across the central provinces. The western provinces will be near to below normal.
Rainfall will be below normal in Atlantic Canada (region 1), Southern British Columbia (region 5) and the Prairies (region 4).
Southern Quebec (region 2) will see above normal rainfall.
September 2024 Forecast
Looking at September as a whole, we foresee near- to above-average temperatures across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Below-average temperatures are expected from the Great Lakes and Appalachians southward to the Southeast. Much of the Plains and Midwest will be on the warmer side, while Texas and Oklahoma will see a few shots of cooler, less humid air. The western United States will experience above-average temperatures for the most part, including Alaska and Hawaii. In Canada, temperatures will be near average across southern Quebec and the Maritimes, with above-average temperatures across most of the rest of the country.
Much of the eastern third of the United States will see near- to above-average rainfall this month. Drier-than-average conditions are forecast from the Midwest and the Plains through a good part of the West. Near- to below-average precipitation is expected across Alaska and Hawaii. In Canada, rainfall will be near to above average from southern Ontario eastward to the Maritimes. The Prairies and southwestern British Columbia will be on the drier side, while parts of the Yukon and the Northwest Territories will see above-average precipitation.

October 2024 Forecast
October temperatures will be cooler than normal from New England southward through the Atlantic Corridor, westward across the Appalachians, and the Great Lakes through the Upper Midwest, and near to above normal across the rest of the country.
Precipitation will be above normal from the Upper Midwest through the northern portions of the Heartland, across much of the Pacific Coast and Alaska, and near to below normal elsewhere.

November 2024 Forecast
We’re expecting a warm November overall from the Great Lakes over to much of the East Coast to the central and northern Plains. Along the Gulf Coast, though, it will likely turn out a little cooler than normal. It will be on the chilly side from the Rockies over toward Washington State, while it will likely be warmer than normal from Oregon down to California. Across Canada, temperatures will mainly be near or above normal, with the exception of southern British Columbia.
Precipitation will be near or below normal from the Great Lakes to the Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic. Much of the Deep South and Southeast will be wetter than normal. A drier than normal November is expected from the Plains all the way to the West Coast.
Looking at Canada, we’re expecting near- to below-normal precipitation across the Maritimes, southwestern Ontario, southern British Columbia, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. Above-normal precipitation is likely for much of the area for southern Quebec, southeastern Ontario, and the Prairies.

I've tried everything to get the day by day forecast for October 2023, in Mission Viejo CA 92692. I've been coming here for 23 years and found it right away...What happened? Now I have to find another source :(
I’ve had the same problem the answers I have been seeking lately that I’ve always been able to depend on are not so easy to access here anymore.
Southeast, especially KY, WV, has always had unpredictable weather. This year is far from the hottest. And, even though the humidity has been bad, it has been far from the most humid I've seen around here in the last 70 years.
But, since they can control, to a degree, the moisture in the air, the humidity probably would not have been this bad without their tampering. They can also control the amount of metal and substances necessary to hold in the heat, think chem trails. And the number and kinds of bugs they release to, supposedly be beneficial for this or that, that oddly always affects the crops and pretty much destroys them.
Now, some folks might dismiss this and whine, conspiracy theory. But, I was around when they started salting the clouds to induce rain during an extreme drought, and it consistently worked. And I've lived through all their bug drops, where they over-estimate and create semi-plagues. So, yes, children, technology has only advanced and yes, they can, to some extent, warp the weather and our environment to sell more products. They just haven't got it on speed dial --- yet!
With all that, and schools they no longer teach the effect that the sun, and to some extent the moon and earths seasonal rotation, along with the fact that the earth wobbles and is not near as steady as they try to make it out, and you have the ground for their endless work to make people afraid of just about everything.
So, so tired of it!
So so true. I couldn't have said it better. Bravo.
Who is this all-knowing, all-powerful "they" you speak of? 🤔 Governments and institutions are made up of plain old regular people. People that aren't that bright, people who would run home and tell their wives if told they had to release super bio bugs and "salt the clouds" then it would be all over Facebook and on the local news. For what purpose would these people go to great, insane lengths to "fool" the public? It's not about money or power, the two main reasons that incentivize corrupt public officials, so WHY would anyone do those bizarre things? No one other than other paranoid or mentally ill people would. Therefore, it's just silliness made up by people who probably need a more productive hobby.
Not money you say??? Wrong-- if our government is involved there is money being made somewhere and lots of it
May I borrow your rose-colored glasses? I heard about cloud seeding in the U.S. (and would be happening in the near future) on a morning NPR interview back in 2016/2017 on the way to work.
Never felt it this warm in New England this time of year, something is going onnnnn..... something bad
Not true. Look at climate history for your area, I do not mean last year or even 10, 20 years look at 100 year history. What the climate liars, the ones making money from fear mongering, like Kerry and his ilk do not want you to know us that weather has been cyclic. There have been seasons that have been both warmer and cooler. If you want the truth about climate change look to Joe Bastardi.
Youre so right about this. These lying politicians are so full of it. Now these jerks are weather men.
