Summer is still here, but fall and winter are just around the corner. Autumn officially starts on September 22 this year, so it’s time to think ahead. The Farmer’s Almanac has already shared its fall weather predictions for 2025, and it looks like most of the U.S. will experience a warmer-than-average season, especially in the western states.
But let’s not stop there—let’s peek into the winter forecast! The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released an early look at the winter of 2025-26, and it’s shaping up to be warmer than usual for much of the country.
From November to January, most areas are expected to see above-normal temperatures, except for the northernmost regions. Precipitation levels should be normal overall, but the southern half of the U.S. might be drier, along with parts of the Midwest.
Looking at December through February, the forecast shows that much of the country has an equal chance of experiencing warmer or colder weather, with the southern states leaning towards warmer. Precipitation predictions remain similar to the earlier months.
In Pennsylvania, from December to February, the eastern half is likely to be warmer than normal, while the western half has an equal chance of warmer or colder weather. Overall, precipitation across the state could be higher or lower, but it’s anyone’s guess.
So, as you gear up for concerts and music events this fall and winter, keep an eye on the weather—it might just be a cozy season ahead!
