OOOOOHHHHH, fall is my favorite season!
Crunchy leaves, sweaters, PUMPKIN SPICE EVERYTHING, cider, windows open, harvest, I LOVE IT ALL.
My apple-picking trip and visit to the cider mill just might be a little cooler than usual for us this fall, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac.
The publication, which released its annual fall forecast, is predicting below-average temperatures for Ohio.
Most Ohioans can expect to see above-average precipitation this fall, the almanac predicts, with the exception of Northwest Ohio, which can expect below-average precipitation.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which began in 1792, has made a name for itself by providing long-term weather forecasts on an annual basis.
What’s the average fall temperature in Ohio?
Here’s what a typical fall season looks like in the region, according to the National Weather Service:
- September: 67.2 degrees
- October: 55 degrees
- November: 43.6 degrees
- December: 34.5 degrees
Is the Old Farmer’s Almanac accurate?
The Old Farmer’s Almanac boasts an average accuracy of about 80% for its weather reports. But many weather experts disagree with the predictions, saying the Almanac’s weather reports may be no better than chance.
