Farmer's Almanac Predicts US Weather for Winter 2025
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Farmers' Almanac has released its winter forecast for 2025–2026, with the coldest outbreaks expected from the Northern Plains to New England and significant snow risks across parts of the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes and mid-Atlantic, the publication said. Why It Matters The venerable periodical has been published every year since 1818, according to its website, and states that its extended forecast used a centuries-old formula that considers celestial and meteorological activity as well as "other proprietary factors." What To Know Editor Sandi Duncan told Newsweek that the Almanac's enduring appeal was "because we are a comfort in an ever-changing world—we remind people how to slow down and enjoy the good life. "We suggest ways to connect with nature or to stop and smell the flowers to enjoy nature. We are a breath of fresh air in a world that is sometimes stale. "Even though weather is the first thing people think about when they hear the words 'Farmers' Almanac' we're so much more—we have tips, trivia and stories that help readers become the most interesting person in the room." The Farmers' Almanac predicted that the coldest temperatures would span the Northern Plains to New England and that the Northwest—particularly Idaho and Washington—should prepare for cold conditions. The publication forecast frequent snowstorms for New England, mixed rain and snow along the Atlantic Coast, classic winter conditions for the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and North Central states, and significant mountain snow in the Pacific Northwest. The Southeast was forecast to have average temperatures along with multiple wet periods, while northern parts of the region might see occasional snow. The Southwest and Texas/Southern Plains were expected to be wetter than average, with limited snow in southern areas. The Almanac highlighted potential early cold and snow as soon as September for some locales and named mid-January and mid-February as periods when major cold snaps might arrive. What People Are Saying Farmers' Almanac editor Sandi Duncan told USA Today:"Most of the country is on tap for a cold or very cold winter, kind of almost going back to an old-fashioned winter. "It's going to cool down, it's going to snow, then it might warm up a little, then it's going to repeat itself again." What Happens Next New editions of The Farmer's Almanac are released annually. Separately, Newsweek previously reported on The Old Farmer's Almanac, which is a similar but separate almanac, releasing its predictions for fall 2025. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicted a warmer‑than‑normal fall across much of the U.S. in fall 2025, especially in regions like the Atlantic Corridor, Southeast, Florida, Deep South, Heartland, High Plains, Intermountain, Pacific Northwest, Pacific Southwest, and Alaska. In contrast, the Northeast, Appalachians, Lower Lakes, Ohio Valley, Upper Midwest, Desert Southwest, and Hawaii may experience cooler-than-average conditions. Rainfall was expected to be below average nationwide, with the High Plains and Pacific Northwest as exceptions. The Almanac also forecasts above-normal hurricane activity, with a "high count" of named systems through November. This almanac was first published in 1792.

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.

Old Farmer's Almanac warns of warm fall after sweltering summer
As the dog days of summer cling to the nation with a fiery grip, a sprawling heat dome continues to turn daily life into a sweltering ordeal. From the baked pavements of the Deep South to the record-shattering humidity of the Midwest and Northeast, nearly 100 million Americans are enduring 'feels-like' temperatures that routinely breach the triple-digit mark. Cities accustomed to milder summers are gasping under conditions usually reserved for desert landscapes, with century-old temperature records toppling like dominoes. The question on everyone's parched lips isn't just 'when will it end?' but 'what comes next?' To that end, The Old Farmer's Almanac has just unveiled its fall 2025 prediction, offering a glimpse into what the next season may bring. The answer, for many, is a bittersweet one: don't pack away those fans just yet as the steamy echo of the scorching summer we're currently enduring will likely persist for months to come. 3 Beachgoers walk along the shore near the Belmont Pier in Long Beach on the first day of fall.

'Your trek to the pumpkin patch may be a bit steamy this year,' The Old Farmer's Almanac warns. 3 The western half of the U.S. is also expected to experience particularly steamy conditions. amazon Regions bracing for a warmer-than-average autumn include the Southeast and West, extending the summer's heat. However, regions like the Northeast and Appalachians can anticipate cooler, drier conditions, potentially leading to extra colorful fall foliage. For the Northeast, these cooler temperatures, combined with below-average rainfall, could lead to a particularly vibrant fall foliage display. 3 A woman hold a handheld fan on a subway platform during a heatwave affecting the U.S. Northeast in New York City, U.S., June 25, 2025.

Adding to the seasonal outlook, the almanac also warns of above-normal hurricane activity, with a high count of named storms expected to persist through November, the official end of hurricane season.
