Cooler air in the Appalachians, warmth for the Southeast<\/strong><\/p>\n North Carolina<\/strong> is expected to experience a divided autumn<\/strong> in 2025, according to the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/strong>, whose seasonal outlook<\/strong> was released in early July<\/strong>. The publication, known for its long-range forecasts, is predicting a warmer-than-usual fall<\/strong> for much of the United States<\/strong>, especially in the western half<\/strong> of the country. However, conditions in North Carolina<\/strong> will vary significantly depending on the region.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the Southeast<\/strong>, which includes much of central and eastern North Carolina<\/strong>, September<\/strong> and October<\/strong> are expected to be warmer and drier<\/strong> than average. The average temperature<\/strong> for September<\/strong> will hover around 78\u00b0F (25.5\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with approximately 4 inches of rainfall<\/strong>. Conditions will likely be warm and stormy<\/strong> at the beginning of the month, shifting to a cooler finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n October<\/strong> in the Southeast<\/strong> is forecast to remain sunny and warm<\/strong> in the early weeks, with light showers<\/strong> in the middle of the month. The average temperature is projected to be 64\u00b0F (17.7\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with only 1.5 inches of rain<\/strong>. The month should end with cooler, drier air<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In contrast, the Appalachian region<\/strong>, which includes Western North Carolina<\/strong> and cities like Asheville<\/strong>, is looking at a cooler and drier<\/strong> start to the fall season. In September<\/strong>, the average temperature will dip to 65\u00b0F (18.3\u00b0C)<\/strong>, with about 3 inches of rainfall<\/strong>. Expect sunny and warm days<\/strong> early in the month, followed by mid-month thunderstorms<\/strong>, and finally a cooling trend<\/strong> with some regional variation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Moving into October<\/strong>, the Appalachians<\/strong> are predicted to remain cool<\/strong>, with an average temperature near 53\u00b0F (11.6\u00b0C)<\/strong>. Rainfall will increase slightly to 2.5 inches<\/strong>, and the weather will likely feature scattered showers<\/strong> from early to mid-month, becoming drier and warmer<\/strong> towards the end.<\/p>\n The fall equinox<\/strong> officially arrives at 2:19 p.m. ET<\/strong> on Monday, September 22<\/strong>, signaling the beginning of the autumn season<\/strong> in the Northern Hemisphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This forecast positions North Carolina<\/strong> at a meteorological crossroads this fall. While the mountain regions<\/strong> brace for brisker, calmer weather<\/strong>, the Southeast coastline and piedmont<\/strong> should anticipate lingering heat<\/strong> and limited rainfall<\/strong> well into October<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cooler air in the Appalachians, warmth for the Southeast North Carolina is expected to experience a divided autumn in 2025, according to the Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac, whose seasonal outlook was released in early July.
