Old Farmer's Almanac Issues First Fall Outlook for Minnesota and Wisconsin

The Old Farmer's Almanac has released its first seasonal forecast for the Upper Midwest, covering Minnesota and Wisconsin. The outlook calls for a cooler‑than‑average September followed by a slightly warmer October, and predicts drier than usual precipitation for the region, which could lead to a milder winter.

The forecast is based on the Almanac’s proprietary formula that blends solar science, climatology, meteorology and 30‑year statistical averages. It arrives after an unusually hot summer in Duluth and other parts of the Northland, offering residents a preview of what to expect during the coming months.
