Fall 2026 Forecast: Mixed Weather Ahead | Topeka News

The Old Farmer’s Almanac just dropped its fall 2026 forecast—cooler, wetter weather for the Northeast and Pacific Northwest, but warmer, drier conditions for the interior plains. With El Niño ramping up and scientists watching closely, the Almanac’s 80% accuracy claim is met with skepticism from meteorologists. While it hints at sweaters early and drought relief for places like Kansas, NOAA warns this El Niño could peak late 2026 and linger into early 2027—meaning this fall could set the stage for winter. Nature’s still throwing curveballs, even for the oldest forecasts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
