Cheesecake Factory celebrates National Cheesecake Day with new flavor, half-off deal
National Cheesecake Day is Wednesday, July 30 and the Cheesecake Factory is celebrating with a new flavor and a sweet deal for customers. The restaurant chain revealed to USA TODAY last month it had launched a new flavor in honor of the holiday. The flavor, called Peach Perfect with Raspberry Drizzle, features a peach cheesecake with peaches, on a vanilla crust and finished with raspberry sauce, the company told USA TODAY. In addition, the chain is offering an "Any Slice, Half Price" deal on July 30. The offer is only valid on that one day for Cheesecake Rewards members dining in. The final part of the promotion features a charitable element. The company told USA TODAY that for each slice of Peach Perfect with Raspberry Drizzle sold through July 29, 2026, it will donate 25 cents to Feeding America. The restaurant chain says it has donated nearly $7 million to Feeding America in the past through its featured cheesecake sales. Origins of National Cheesecake Day, Cheesecake Factory According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, National Cheesecake Day was established in 1985. The dessert itself, however, has roots dating back to ancient Greece. In 1972, Evelyn and Oscar Overton moved to Los Angeles and opened the Cheesecake Factory Bakery. They soon began selling Evelyn's cheesecakes to restaurants throughout Los Angeles, according to the restaurant chain's website. Six years later, their son, David, decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills to showcase his mother's cheesecakes. That restaurant became the first Cheesecake Factory location. More food deals: $2 pizza at Pizza Hut? How to get your slice of the Tuesday deal Cheesecake Factory offers a variety of flavors The Cheesecake Factory says it has more than 30 varieties of cheesecake on its menu, including a Fresh Strawberry flavor that the company says has been its most popular flavor for over 45 years. Other flavors available include an Ultimate Red Velvet Cake Cheesecake, Coconut Cream Pie Cheesecake, and a Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake, among others. These, of course, are all a part of the "Any Slice, Half Price" deal. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY. You can follow him on X @GabeHauari or email him at Gdhauari@

Old Farmer's Almanac prediction for Fall 2025 across the US revealed
With extreme summer heat gripping millions across the United States, many are curious about what fall will bring. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac, the nation will witness a warmer-than-normal autumn, particularly in the western and southern US. Published annually since 1792, the Almanac relies on a mix of solar science, climatology, and meteorology to craft its long-range forecasts. On July 11, 2025, it released its weather outlook, and it is urging Americans not to pack away their fans just yet, per Newsweek. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts that fall 2025 will have above-average temperatures in many parts of the US.(Representative image/Unsplash) Also read: Heat advisory issued for 11 US states: Record-high minimum, overnight temperatures this week Old Farmer's Almanac fall 2025 prediction According to Newsweek, the Almanac forecast above-average temperatures in key areas, including the Atlantic Corridor, Southeast, Florida, Deep South, Heartland, Texas-Oklahoma, High Plains, Intermountain West, Pacific Northwest, Pacific Southwest, and Alaska. It added that even the pumpkin patch visits could likely be sweltering this year. It added that precipitation is expected to be below normal across much of the US, particularly from California to Florida and up through Maine, with the High Plains and Pacific Northwest as exceptions. Cooler, colorful fall ahead in Northeast and Appalachians According to another Fox News report, not all regions will feel the heat. It is expected to be cooler and drier in areas like the Northeast, Appalachians, Lower Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Upper Midwest. In New England, these lower temperatures and reduced rainfall could create beautiful fall foliage. A Fox News report, referencing the Almanac, states that the Northeast may see below-average rainfall and average temperatures of 59°F in September and 46°F in October. The Appalachians' average temperature for the two months will be 65°F and 53°F, respectively. The Southeastern US and Florida will be warmer and drier than usual, with September temperature averaging 78–82°F. Lastly, the Pacific Northwest is expected to be warmer overall, with wetter conditions expected in October. Also read: New study reveals the date the universe will die. It's sooner than you think Hurricane season is not over yet The Almanac, however, cautioned that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ends in November, will feature above-normal activity with a 'high count of named systems'. NOAA's outlook: A mixed forecast The Fox News report stated that despite the Almanac projecting cooler conditions in the Northeast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) disagrees. NOAA's 90-day outlook showed high confidence in the warmer-than-normal fall in New England, citing above-average Atlantic Ocean temperatures. When it comes to rainfall predictions, NOAA and the Old Farmer's Almanac have both agreements and differences. NOAA forecasted wetter-than-usual conditions along the Eastern Seaboard, whereas Almanac predicted a drier fall for the same region. However, both align in projecting dry weather in the southern Plains and the Rockies. Their predictions diverge on Northern Plains where NOAA says conditions will be normal or drier but Almanac anticipated a wetter-than-average season. FAQs: Q: What is The Old Farmer's Almanac? A: It is the oldest continuously published periodical in the US, offering weather forecasts, astronomical data and seasonal advice since 1792. Q: What regions will be hottest this fall? A: Much of the western and southern US, including the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Intermountain West. Q: Will fall foliage be better this year? A: Yes, especially in the Northeast, where cooler temps and dry conditions may lead to more vivid colors. Q: What does NOAA predict for fall 2025? A: NOAA forecasts a warmer fall in the Northeast (opposite of the Almanac) and wetter conditions along the East Coast. Q: How accurate is The Old Farmer's Almanac? A: While not scientifically peer-reviewed, the Almanac claims 80 per cent historical accuracy, though independent studies suggest it's closer to 50–60 per cent.

When will it cool down in Indiana? Old Farmer's Almanac gives the Midwest this fall forecast.
It's been a perfectly pleasant summer in Indiana, hasn't it? Right, so long as you've never stepped a foot outside your air-conditioned home and you live far enough away from a cornfield. For the rest of us, summer has been a grueling, hot and sweaty mess. The latest heat dome isn't helping. If your heart is already set on autumn leaves and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, the Old Farmer's Almanac has issued its seasonal fall weather forecast for the Midwest. Their prediction paints a cool and crisp looking autumn. Climatologists at the National Weather Service, however, might disagree. Here's what forecast models are predicting for Indiana when summer ends and fall begins. Story continues after photo gallery. When is the first day of fall? September 22, 2025, is the first official day of fall in the northern hemisphere. Old Farmer's Almanac: Fall 2025 forecast for Indiana The Old Farmer's Almanac, not to be confused with the Farmer's Almanac, is predicting a "cool and dry" fall for Indiana and the larger region Both the Ohio Valley and upper Midwest are predicted to have cooler than normal temperatures in September and October, writes the Old Farmer's Almanac, by as much two degrees. Farmer's Almanac issues Autumn Outlook for 2025 The 2025 autumn outlook by the Farmer's Almanac is calling for a "flirty, flurry, fall" this year. "Fall 2025 is shaping up to be a season of contrasts across the United States," writes the almanac. "From early chills in the North to lingering warmth in the South, and from stormy skies to tranquil stretches, this fall will keep us on our toes." The Midwest can expect clear skies in September with a "tug-of-war between fair weather and storm systems," according to the almanac. Severe thunderstorms and the potential for a tornado "will loom over the central states, particularly the Ohio Valley and the Plains." October and November are predicted to bring traditionally cool weather to large swaths of the country, with the Great Lakes regions seeing a chance for early snow. Whether either almanac gets it right this year remains to be seen. How accurate are the Farmer's Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac? Despite assertions the almanacs are 80-85% accurate, studies have shown their long-range predictions are sometimes little better than a coin flip. One study cited by Popular Mechanics reported the Farmer's Almanac was right about 52% of the time. Summer reading at the library: Not sure what to read this summer?
