It’s almost time to trade the hot summer days for cooler fall weather in Georgia.

Fall is on its way and so are flannel shirts, pumpkin patches, scary movie marathons and football season. But what will fall feel like in Georgia this year?

Here’s what we know:

What the Old Farmer's Almanac Predicts

Overall, the Old Farmer’s Almanac “is predicting a warmer-than-normal autumn this year” in much of the country. However, for the southeast region including Georgia, the weather is said to be cooler than average.

As far as rainfall, the Old Farmer’s Almanac also predicts average precipitation totals for Georgia and surrounding states.

The Almanac prediction included a hurricane season with “above-normal activity” until November, so watch out for severe weather in Georgia as fall approaches.

What the NWS says

The National Weather Service (NWS) has a long-range forecast for three months (August to October) and during those months, the NWS forecasted slightly above average temperatures and likely above precipitation.

What Accuweather experts say 

Accuweather meteorologists have already predicted a warm fall, much like Farmer’s Almanac and NWS experts.

“Fall is going to feel more like an extended summer for millions of Americans this year,” said Paul Pastelok, AccuWeather lead long-range meteorologist.

However, for the South, Accuweather experts predict a cooling trend. Georgia, Florida and other surrounding states are the “only areas where above-historical average temperatures are not expected this autumn.”
