Severe weather conditions anticipated by meteorologists at the Farmers' Almanac for autumn 2025 - prepare your plants promptly to avoid damage
The Farmers' Almanac Predicts a Flirty, Flurry Fall for 2025
Get ready for a season of mixed weather as the Farmers' Almanac predicts a unique fall for 2025, with a combination of warm, dry spells and early winter weather in certain regions.
According to the almanac, the autumn of 2025 will generally be warmer and drier than usual, especially across the western half of the United States. The western states can expect below-average rainfall and steamy temperatures throughout the autumn months[1].
However, some regions will diverge from this pattern. The Northeast, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, western Massachusetts, and eastern New York, is expected to experience cool temperatures and below-average rainfall, with short bursts of warmth[1]. The Appalachian region, from Pennsylvania to western North Carolina, will have cool, dry conditions, with thunderstorms possible mid-September[1].
As we move into October and November, higher elevations may see early snow and windy conditions[2]. November may also witness more wintry conditions emerging.
To prepare for the unpredictable weather, here are some tips:
- Remove debris from your yard before a thunderstorm to prevent damage.
- Move container plants indoors or to a sheltered position before a thunderstorm.
- Pruning shears should be clean and sharp for pruning plants before a thunderstorm.
- Plants with long unsupported stems should be staked before a thunderstorm to keep them secure.
- Consider planting hedges for wind protection in the yard.
- Household items such as bubble wrap, newspaper, and fleece blankets can be used to protect plants from frost.
- Tips for helping plants survive after snowfall include knowing the best way to brush snow off plants, caring for the lawn, and knowing what to prune.
- Snow itself does not usually harm a lawn, but heavy snowfall can lead to snow mold and require extra care.
With the fall equinox on September 2nd, now is an ideal time to start planning for the colder season. So, grab your planner and start preparing for this flirty, flurry fall!
