Farmers’ Almanac is out with its winter prediction for 2024-2025
The Old Farmers Almanac's Early Fall Weather Prediction
The weather experts at the Old Farmer’s Almanac predict September and October to be warmer than usual, with rainfall near average in Western Washington. For those east of the Cascades, September and October are expected to be warm, with below-normal rainfall.
The Farmers' Almanac is out with its winter prediction for 2024-2025.
The Farmers' Almanac predicts a Wet Winter because La Nina is expected to develop and remain strong throughout winter. That means most regions across America will be wet and cold.
How about for the PNW?
It hinges on the La Niña weather pattern forming.
The Farmers’ Almanac predicts the 2024-25 winter as a “chilly & wet."
“Above-average precipitation is expected over the eastern third of the country, especially the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Midwest,” the Almanac reads. “The Pacific Northwest will also have a wet winter.”
First Predicted Significant Snowfall?
Snowchance predicts the first significant system with snow should arrive in Washington State precisely one week before Thanksgiving - Thursday November 21st.
The publication uses an exclusive mathematical and astronomical formula—created by the Farmers' Almanac founders in 1818—that relies on three main variants:
* Sunspot activity
* Tidal action
* Planetary position
Today, the Farmers' Almanac uses environmental predictions of El Nio and La Nia events.
