What will spring look like in RI? Here's the 2025 Old Farmer's Almanac forecast
The earliest daffodils are starting to bloom, which means spring is here in Rhode Island. And, the Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting warmer-than-normal temperatures for the region. The Old Farmer's Almanac's long-range spring weather forecast is predicting warm temperatures for most of the country in April and May. "Spring signals a time for renewal," the publication said. "The seasonal weather is especially important for gardening and lawn care. Weather is a critical factor for plants to thrive or perish. Temperatures and precipitation over a period of time have direct effects on the survival of plants. But before you 'dig in,' get the scoop on the expected weather." The publication divides its forecast by regions, rather than states, and the New England area is split in two: the Northeast region represents Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and the northwestern half of Massachusetts. The Atlantic Corridor region is made up of southeast Massachusetts, including Boston, as well as Rhode Island and most of Connecticut. The Atlantic Corridor region, which includes southeastern Massachusetts, Rhode Island and most of Connecticut, the Old Farmer's Almanac is predicting above average temperatures. The publication is predicting above average rainfall in the region in April, and slightly below normal rainfall in May. "From Boston to Richmond, temperatures will be warmer than usual, with the southern region seeing temperatures 5°F above average in April. Rainfall will be above normal in April and slightly below normal in May," the publication said. According to its website, the Old Farmer's Almanac makes its predictions by comparing solar activity with weather patterns. The almanac says it uses multiple academic disciplines for its predictions, including solar science, climatology and meteorology. It also says the weather forecast methodology is the modern version of a formula created by the Almanac's founder, Robert B. Thomas, in 1792. The Old Farmer's Almanac, which is slightly different from the Farmers' Almanac, claims an 80% accuracy rate on its predictions. In a report analyzing the success of its predictions for last winter, the Almanac said its total accuracy rate for the season was 64%. The publication attributed the lower rate to "abnormal recent weather patterns."
