Long-term experts predict warm autumn for the USA
The transition to fall will be slow in most parts of the country this year, and warm temperatures are expected to last well into fall.
Even in August, the summer heat in Arizona was relentless and there is no sign of the heat letting up anytime soon.
Long-time residents know that temperatures usually only fall below 38 degrees in the last days of September and then in October, when summer turns to autumn.
As Arizona residents await cooler weather and the return of fall colors to the desert, the Old Farmer’s Almanac has forecasted what weather (including snow, rain, and temperatures) to expect across the Grand Canyon State in fall 2024.
Here is the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s weather forecast for Arizona this fall.

Will it snow in Arizona this fall?
Arizona fall weather forecasts call for a “drier than normal” November for most of the season, which is expected for much of the West Coast and western states.
The Almanac is working to publish its winter weather forecasts soon, which usually include projections of the amount of snow to be expected.
How does the Old Farmer’s Almanac make predictions?
The Old Farmer’s Almanac bases its predictions on a comparison of solar activity and weather patterns, it says on its website.
The almanac explains that its predictions are based on findings from several academic fields, including solar science, climatology and meteorology.
It also points out that the current method of weather forecasting is a modern adaptation of a formula developed by the almanac’s founder, Robert B. Thomas, in 1792.
How accurate are the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s predictions?
The Old Farmer’s Almanac, which differs from the Farmers’ Almanac, claims that its weather predictions are 80% accurate.
However, in a report evaluating last winter’s forecasts, the almanac reported an overall accuracy of 64% for the season. The publication attributed the lower accuracy to “abnormal recent weather patterns.”
